In my email client, Kim's first post was threaded along with Saidur's "jquery youtube plugin" post.

Kim, is it possible that you replied to a "jquery youtube plugin" email and just changed the subject line? If so, that could why Saidur is complaining. It's important to start new topics with a brand new email message (if you're posting via email, of course) rather than hitting "reply" from another topic. If you did open a new mail message, then maybe something went wrong on the Google Groups side of things. In any case, I hope this helps explain Saidur's concern.

As for Firebug, I've seen the issue you're having quite a bit with classes. Sometimes when I add a class to a DOM element, in Firebug it'll just show as class="". I think your hunch is correct that it's a Firebug, rather than a jQuery, issue.

I looks like Kim started a whole new thread to me.  Maybe you're
having a problem with your email client, Saidur?

Hi folks,

I just spent the last hour trying to figure out why a
piece of jquery wasn't working, and finally tracked it
down to inaccurately assuming you could overwrite an
attribute with attr. Using attr to blank out values
(ex: .attr("name", "")) seems to work fine, but as
soon as I try to use it with an actual variable (ex:
.attr("id", idvar)), nothing happns.

I finally discovered that the code worked perfectly if
I called removeAttr("id") first, prior to the
.attr("id", idvar) call.

Can anyone explain to me why overwriting doesn't work
with attr? Is this a bug? Am I missing some kind of
core concept?

Thanks,
~Kim
