Well bad example, I will not be using it will the id attribute, and I
will be getting more the one results, so $().attr() will not work.

Is there another way to do this in JQuery (I am currently just looping
the return and extracting the attribute if set)?
jQuery supports (some) XPath for selecting things, but not the whole
Spec. Try:
var alt = $('#banner').attr('alt');
Looping is pointless because an id is supposed to be unique in a
document. Also I think the CSS selector syntax should be faster then
your generic approach.

Ok, say you want an array that gathers all the alt attributes of the
matched elements, you can use the $.map method:
var altAttrs = $.map( $('img'), function() { return this.alt; } );
