The only place I use attr extensively is when I want the href value of
a link for further manipulation to unobtrusively convert non-JS
functionality to JS functionality, most commonly when the href is for
a document fragment. Do you think it's bad practice to call
var myDiv=$(item.attr('href'));
Obviously I could go down to getAttribute, but I've never had a
problem using it like this.
