A few examples of working element attributes in jQuery.
// Setting Single Attribute
$("img").attr("src", "/images/banner.jpg");
// Setting Single Attribute (with function)
$("div").attr("id", function(arr) {
return "div-id" + arr;
});
// Setting Multiple Attributes
$("img").attr({
src: "/images/banner.jpg",
title: "banner",
alt: "banner"
});
// Getting Attribute
var $source = $("img").attr("src");
