problem of attr

[[email protected]…]

jQuery attr returns undefined while UA implementations return empty string

$("html").attr("lang") undefined $("html")[0].lang ""

var locale=$("html").attr("lang").replace("-","_"); TypeError: Cannot call method 'replace' of undefined

and I have to write it like this: var locale=$("html")[0].lang.replace("-","_");

Tested in Chrome/24.0.1312.57

Bug found in v1.8.2 while it is okay in v1.4.2

So if there is no lang attribute on the html element it should return undefined. Can you provide a test case on jsfiddle.net that shows what the problem is?
