Ticket #2099 (closed bug: fixed)

IE: $('#someform').attr('id') returns sub element instead of attribute

Reported by: streawkceur Assigned to: anonymous
Type: bug Priority: major
Milestone: 1.2.2 Component: core
Version: 1.2.1 Keywords: attr ie form
Cc: Needs: Review

Description

HTML: 

<form id="someform" name="someform">
    <input name="id" value="23" />
</form>

JS: 

$('#someform').attr('id')

Gives '[object]' in IE. This is actually the input element. In FF the correct value 'someform' is alerted.

"Fix": 

if (jQuery.browser.msie) {
    alert( $('#someform').attr('attributes')['id'].value );
} else {
    alert( $('#someform').attr('id') );
}

This error may occur on several other attributes. Also, it works when there is no sub-element with the name 'id'.

change line 1067 in jquery-uncompressed.js (version 1.2.3)

from 

else if ( value == undefined && jQuery.browser.msie && jQuery.nodeName( elem, "form" ) && (name == "action" || name == "method" ) )

to 

else if ( value == undefined && jQuery.browser.msie && jQuery.nodeName( elem, "form" ) && (name == "action" || name == "method" || name == "id") )

this will solve the problem :)
