jQuery check if attr = value

Question

I seem to be having trouble with my code. I need to say:

if ( $(\'html\').attr(\'lang\').val() == \'fr-FR\' ) {
    // do this
} else {
    // do that
}
         


        

Answer 1

Just remove the .val(). Like:

if ( $('html').attr('lang') == 'fr-FR' ) {
    // do this
} else {
    // do that
}
