In the case of attr(), the convenience jQuery was adding was an enormous fudge and attempted to gloss over the fundamental difference between attributes and properties, which has directly led to vast confusion and misunderstanding among developers. It was impossible for even jQuery core developers to explain what attr() was supposed to do. The pre-1.6 attr() was a design mistake that 1.6 is attempting to rectify, which must be a good thing (provided it's been done sensibly). |
