This works fine for me (using jQuery 1.3):
$(function(){
$('<div>').attr('id','test').html('div html').appendTo
('body'); // inject html element, also works fine hard-coded.
$('#test').attr('ryantest','hithere');
$('a').click(function(event){
event.preventDefault();
alert($('#test').attr('ryantest'));
});
});
Alerts 'hithere' when you click a link.
