I don't think it works.

You might consider using the Metadata plugin:
http://plugins.jquery.com/project/metadata

or jQuery's jQuery.data:
http://docs.jquery.com/Core/data

to achieve what you want to do in a similar way.

This works fine for me (using jQuery 1.3):

$(function(){
$('div').attr('id','test').html('div html').appendTo
('body'); // inject html element, also works fine hard-coded.
$('#test').attr('ryantest','hithere');
$('a').click(function(event){
event.preventDefault();
alert($('#test').attr('ryantest'));
});
});

Alerts 'hithere' when you click a link.
