We construct a universal continuous invariant bilinear form for the Lie algebra of compactly supported sections of a Lie algebra bundle in a topological sense. Moreover we construct a universal continuous central extension of a current algebra that is the tensor product of a finite-dimensional Lie algebra g and a certain topological algebra A. In particular taking A as the compactly supported smooth functions on a sigma-compact manifold M, we obtain a more detailed justification for a recent result of Janssens and Wockel concerning a universal extension for the Lie algebra of compactly supported g-valued smooth functions on M.
