Extracting HTML tag information

Is it possible to extract out information from the HTML tag using JavaScript? For example, is it possible to extract the value of the 'lang' attribute from the HTML tag?

Any help would be appreciated.

Cheers,
Marty

document.getElementsByTagName('html')[0].lang

Thanks mate... I had been doing it with 'Name' not 'TagName'... duh... many thanks indeed.

Note also that it's getElements - i.e. plural

It creates an array. The [0] is used to select the first item in that array (javascript array indexes begin at 0).
