Olivier,
this.attr('name')
$(this.id)
In the first line you are trying to call the attr method on a DOM node
(which is not defined), in the second you are passing a string (the id
of the element this refers to) to the $ function, which returns an empty
jQuery object, because there is element with the (tag) name of that id.
You have to distinguish between DOM nodes and jQuery objects.
You can either try $(this).id() or simply this.id, which will be better
here performance-wise.
