Hi,
does somebody know how to read the value of a html meta tag?

By this I mean the following
an html file has a meta like this
meta name="Author" value="Jack"

and i would like now to know
if a JS or Jscript can read this value somehow
like:
_author=document.meta.author.value
or anything retrievieng the value "Jack" to this variable...

Thx

Hola Charlysp,

This works for IE:

alert(Author.value)
Author.value = 'Vicente';
alert(Author.value)

no go for NN4.7. If it's necessary, try searching at:
