title: getting attribute using jQuery in IE
body: <p>I have simple button:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;button type="button" id="somebutton" value="start"&gt;blah&lt;/button&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>in jQuery, on the bind('click, function(){.... 
  I have this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>$(this).attr("value")
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>of course what this does is gets the value of an attribute, which in this particular case is: "start". OK, this works in firefox, I get correct value of "start". However in IE 7 the value I get is "somebutton".</p>
  
  <p>why?</p>
