Populate meta content attribute with Javascript variable

Question

My variable is defined as fallows:

$("figure.entry-featured-media-boxed").each(function () {
        var a_href = $(this).find('a').attr('href');

    });

And i want to populate the content from the meta with name : fbimg

<meta property="og:image" name="fbimg" content="" />

Can this be done ?

Thanks

Your question is a bit confusing. Do you want to add multiple `meta` tags to the DOM (as in one for each link in the matched set of elements)? — gfullam, Aug 26 '15 at 14:19
no i just want to add the content that a_href contains ionto the content of the meta tag — em0tic0n, Aug 26 '15 at 14:20
I asked because you are looping through what appears to be a set of elements. If you know you are only going to retrieve one element, you should skip the `each` loop and just reference the link's href directly. — gfullam, Aug 26 '15 at 14:21

This should do the trick:

$('meta[name=fbimg]').attr('content', a_href);

but in an each this would be pointless, since you will overwrite the value every time you're looping through the each...
