Can i get a meta value with jQuery/JS?

Question

Hi all,

Im struggling to find any information on getting meta values.

I have a locale set in the meta on a few sites and would like to use a centralised js file so i need to grab the value from say for example

<meta name="locale" id="locale" content="en_ZA" />

hmmmm....

Many thanks

Answer 1

var m = $("meta[name=locale]");    

alert(m.attr("content"));

Would that suffice?
