Test case:

But looks like this is related to ticket #4160

However, using getAttribute works correctly:

I've attached a patch.

Or rather, I should clarify that getAttribute works on Firefox, but is buggy on other browsers, so the patch will have to wait until someone thinks of a way to feature-detect proper getAttribute support.

Actually, nevermind. Using $().attr() works:

Looks like this is because .val() falls back to using element.value which doesn't work in cases liket his.
