Setting attributes in jquery

Question

I have a problem with running jquery:

    <!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
    <head>
        <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
        <title></title>
        <script type="text/javascript" src="jQuery.js"></script>
      <script type="text/javascript">
       $(function(){

            $('form').attr('id','myNewId');
        });
       </script>
    </head>
    <body>

        <div align="center">
            <form id="myID">
            My Name: <input type="text" name="text"/>
            </form>

        </div>
    </body>
</html>

no error happens , and no intellisense with netbeans..why the code doesnt work ?!?

UPDATE: now it works..

No intellisense with Netbeans..Here is my version:

> Product Version: NetBeans IDE 7.1.1 (Build 201203012225)
Java: 1.7.0_03; Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM 22.1-b02
System: Windows XP version 5.1 running on x86; Cp1255; en_US (nb)
User directory: C:\Documents and Settings\dddddddddddd\.netbeans\7.1.1
Cache directory: C:\Documents and Settings\dddddddddddd\.netbeans\7.1.1\var\cache

delete the $(function(){ and }); lines and try again. what happens? — Taha Paksu

ID is changed. How are you checking out if it is or not? Use Firebug or Chrome dev tools and you will verify that myNewId is set as form ID. — Endijs

jQuery Intellisense is already available on Netbeans. ^{[read more]}

It should work the way you are coding ^[demo], but as of jQuery 1.6+ , you can also use .prop() to set values for attributes^[demo]

$('form').prop('id','myNewId');

In case jQuery is not defined, may be it is conflicting with a different jQuery version. Use this at the top of your script

  $.noConflict();

Shouldn't be .prop only used for things like selectedIndex, tagName, nodeName,... ? So to speak only for properties, and id would be an attribute.

firebug tells me: $ is not defined.. is jquery not loaded

@BlackFire27, on my demo or while you are using

@BlackFire27, It seems the script is conflicting. Check my update
