Change in jQuery 1.6 attr behaviour causes errors with flexigrid

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Use jQuery 1.6
2. Add example 3 (the one with dynamic data) to a page
3. Run

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I expected to see a table similar to the example. Instead there is nothing. 
Firebug showed the following error:

elem.getAttribute is not a function
[Abort on this error] ret = elem.getAttribute( name );
jquery-1.6.js (regel 2217)

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Chrome/Firefox. Windows 7

Please provide any additional information below.
It seems it has to do with a change in jQuery 1.6. See:
