Set content value of itemprop with jQuery

Question

Html:

<meta itemprop="price" content="34,95&nbsp;€ " />

I need to update price dynamically. To get it I use:

$('meta[itemprop="price"]').attr('content');

Which method can be used to replace price?

Answer 1

You can simply give the attr function a second argument which is the value.

$('meta[itemprop="price"]').attr('content', 'newContent');
//newContent doesn't have to be in quotes, it can be a variable too

Answer 2

$('meta[itemprop="price"]').attr('content', newValue);

.attr( attributeName ) is a getter

.attr( attributeName, value ) is a setter
