I just tried this  and this could be a jQuery version-specific error  but     meta property twitter image    attr  content      resulted in the following syntax error for me   Error  Syntax error  unrecognized expression  meta property twitter image    Apparently it doesn t like the colon  I was able to fix it by using double and single quotes like this      meta property  twitter image     attr  content       jQuery version 1 8 3 -- sorry  I would have made this a comment to  Danilo  but it won t let me comment yet

Would this parser help you   https   github com fiann jquery ogp  It parses meta OG data to JSON  so you can just use the data directly  If you prefer  you can read write them directly using JQuery  of course  For example      meta property  og title     attr  content   document title      meta property  og url     attr  content   location toString       Note the single-quotes around the attribute values  this prevents parse errors in jQuery
