title: TinyMCE and jQuery - attr() is returning an Object
body: <p><strong>I've solved this by using data() instead of attr()</strong>, but I'd still like to know if this is just me, and what's causing it:</p>
  
  <p>I'm using jQuery 1.7.1 and TinyMCE 3.5b3 (jQuery package). No other JS libraries.</p>
  
  <p>This code outputs "string", and the anchor tag's href, as expected, when the link is clicked.</p>
  
  <pre><code>$('a.page_item_delete').on('click', function(event){
      event.preventDefault();
      var $this = $(this);
      console.log(typeof $this.attr('href'));
      console.log($this.attr('href'));
  });
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>When I activate TinyMCE on some textareas on the page, it outputs "Object" and, of course, attr() stops returning an expected value. I'm activating TinyMCE via:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>$('textarea.tinymce').tinymce(options);</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>Has anyone else experienced this behaviour with TinyMCE? Is there a known bug, or workaround? Why is TinyMCE apparently affecting unrelated HTML elements on the page?</p>
