Confirmed, but only occurs in IE with image elements not attached to the document. The problem is unrelated to context, it is due to the fact that jQuery prefers the image's .width property to its width attribute.

This may be fixed by the attr rewrite in 1.6; need to check once that's landed.

This bug was a little more complex than that and actually still required a special call in IE, but is fixed. Was related to #5413. http://jsfiddle.net/timmywil/4HQtq/6/

timmywil, so what was the special call required in IE? I'm experiencing the same issue, but jQuery 1.6 is not an option for me. I need to use 1.3.2.

You can do getAttribute('width', 2)
