Accessing Resx in Javascript

Question

Okay I trying to make site handle different languages so I am using a resx file.

I can display simply Welcome on aspx page like this:

<asp:Label runat='server' ID="foo" meta:resourcekey='WelcomeText'/>

Now I want to be able to use javascript to do innerHTML:

"<div>
    <asp:Label runat='server' ID="foo" meta:resourcekey='WelcomeText'/>
</div>"

But it does not work like that. I have tried to also do getElementById which keeps returning null.

Any Ideas?

Can you show a little more code? But marathonman seems to have the right solution. — Remy, Jun 18 '14 at 07:35
@Remy basically in javascript I am going to need to pass a string to another class to display some text. And right now I can pass the string with HTML elements in it and it will work correctly. For example I can add a link within the string using . Now when sending that string I want to be able to add the text from the resx file called WelcomeText. — Beastwood, Jun 18 '14 at 12:19

You can read like

var author = $('meta[name=author]').attr("content");

I think this is the right approach. But I am a little confused what exactly to put in the statement (here is what I have tried) var welcome = $('meta[name=WelcomeText]').attr("content") var welcome = $('meta[name=resourcekey]').attr("WelcomeText") – Beastwood Jun 18 '14 at 12:10
