Description
Example (in Chrome debugger):
jQuery("<a>").attr("href",undefined).css("a","b");
TypeError: Cannot call method 'css' of undefined
I would expect the same behaviour as attr("...",null), which returns the jQuery object.

Thanks for taking the time to contribute to the jQuery project! Passing undefined to attr is treated the same as not passing any value at all, thus treated as a getter. Use http://api.jquery.com/removeAttr to remove attributes.
See: http://jsfiddle.net/2CPXk/ (that's only up to jQuery 1.5.1, but the same problem)
