Description
$('#myform').attr('action', 'http://google.com') fails if the form has a hidden element named action. Example markup:
<form action="http://bing.com" method="post" id="myform">
<input type="hidden" name="action" value="something" />
</form>
I'll post a testcase as soon as I have time.

Replying to [comment:3 rwaldron]:
Is it broken in a specific browser? This works for me: http://jsfiddle.net/rwaldron/mVaPj/1/
broken e.g. in FF 3.6.12, IE6 (throws exception)
But this is something that should get fixed with the .attr() rewrite for 1.5

This is a well known problem (References)\\\\

Unsafe Names for HTML Form Controls
The problem comes from the old DOM 0/DOM 1 days. DOM 1 HTML states
>The FORM element encompasses behavior similar to a collection and an element. It provides direct access to the contained input elements as well as the attributes of the form element.
As noted in my comment above this should all go away with the upcoming .attr() rewrite.
