title: Jquery .attr converts & to &amp; in my links !
body: <p>Am forced to use jquery and am not familiar with it .</p>
  
  <p>Anyway , i store a link in a span <code>&lt;span id="link"&gt;http://x.com?x=1&amp;x=2&lt;/span&gt;</code></p>
  
  <p>when looking up through the js file that gets that variable and puts it in <code>href</code> of a link using this code <code>$j("#sn_title").attr('href', news_link.html());</code> , the <code>&amp;</code> in the link is converted to <code>&amp;amp;</code> .</p>
  
  <p>Any clues ?</p>
