Description
I'm having a problem using element.attr() ever since I upgraded to jquery 1.2.6. I know this issue doesn't exist in 1.2.4 (I've tested it).
Basically, calling element.attr(name, value) doesn't appear to do anything. I've attached a minimal HTML file that illustrates this issue. The page consists of a one-button form, and a separate button marked 'configure'. An alert will pop up if the behavior is incorrect.

The patch about should modify attr() so that it supports this situation. It won't be applied for now for 2 reasons:
1- The demo you showed doesn't work cross browser. As far as I tested, IE doesn't fire handlers set as strings with javascript. So there's no point in supporting that.
2- It needs a lot more of testing. Our test runner doesn't fail with this patch, but as attr() went to many changes lately, we'll give it special attention before modifying it again.
Thanks for reporting.
Oh, I've only tested this with Firefox on Mac OS X 10.5.3, if it matters.
