Fetch meta-tags from url only by jQuery

dom, jquery, meta-tags, url

Solution

Use the html data retrieved from URL

$.get('http://www.guardian.co.uk/culture/2012/jun/21/jimmy-carr-apologises-error-tax', 
function(data) {
   $(data).find('meta[name=adescription]').attr("content");
});

Problem

Now a lot of scripts to facebook-style fetching data from url, but all of them work only in combination of jQuery and PHP. Is it possible to fetch url only by jQuery? I have found here how to get mata-tags of page by: ``` $('meta[name=description]').attr("content"); $("meta[property=og:title]").attr("content", document.title); ``` But how correctly insert this query in jQuery.get() to get text values? ``` $.get('http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1375666/', function(data) { $('meta[name=adescription]').attr("content"); }); ``` And if the most popular sites use OpenGraph should I look in the direction of jQuery.getJSON()?
