[jQuery] browser compatibility issue with jQuery(this).attr("href");

[Am Khan]

Hello,

I wrote a script that starts like this:

    jQuery('/html/body//[EMAIL PROTECTED]//a').each(function(i){
        var $hr = jQuery(this).attr("href");
 .....)};

What I noticed is the following for relative (ex: href="/mypage")
URLs:
       var $hr = this.href;  //returns URL with http:// (ex:
http://mysite/mypage)
However:
        var $hr = jQuery(this).attr("href");  //returns URL with http://
(ex: http://mysite/mypage)
in ie6 and actual URL (ex: /mypage)
in firefox.

I am confused, I really appreciate if anyone can explain this
behavior.  And let me know how I can get the actual URL in both
browser.


Thanks and reagards,
AK
