In the page <head> I have <script> , <style> , <link> and <meta> tags.

  • 0

In the page <head> I have <script>, <style>, <link> and <meta> tags. I just want to read meta information from the head and nothing else. I’m mainly interested in <meta name="description"..> and <meta name="keywords"...>.

I want the full meta tag and not its content. I know I can read content by doing 

$('head meta[name=descritption]').attr('content')

but that’s not what I want. I want an output like

<meta name="description" content="" >
<meta name="keywords" content="" >

What is an efficient way to do this?

    jQuery has no simple way of saying “get the HTML of the currently-selected element.” Your meta tags probably have no content either, so you must want just the HTML of the meta tags. I’m not sure why you put the [name=description] condition there as it seems to contradict what you want, but you can keep it:

    var html = '';
$("head meta").each(function () {
    html += $(this).clone().wrap('<div>').parent().html();
});
alert(html);
