musings from the dark side

Est unusquisque faber ipsae suae fortunae

If you are wondering why this does not work:

var v1 = $('metertag').get('value');

on the new HTML5 <meter> tag you are not alone.

This works so no biggy:

var v1 = $('metertag').getAttribute('value');

I'd inform the mootools crowd but I hate them.

Note: For some reason this works in IE8. Not google chrome, firefox, opera or safari (latest builds). Without the shiv. Weird.
