I think I found a bug with attr(name) using jQuery 1.3.2, I think IE8 is returning "false" when the element does not have an attribute with such a name. The attr(name) suppose to return "undefined" according to the documentation, http://docs.jquery.com/Attributes/attr, and it works as expected in Mozilla Firefox 3.5.2
I did a quick search on Google and on jQuery Bug Tracker, didn't find anything strongly relevant to attr(name) in IE8 returning "false". Example: if($(ele).attr('disabled') !== undefined) { // Do something. } Sincerely, William Chang http://www.williamchang.org http://www.babybluebox.com --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "jQuery Development" group.
