jquery error "Invalid property value."

Question

EDIT:

This error happens because in IE6 and IE7 these attributes are required for a textarea element.

Code:

$(document).ready(function () {
    var ASP_txtNotes = 'ctl00_cphBody_txtNotes';
    $("#" + ASP_txtNotes).removeAttr("cols"); // <-- Error here
}

Error:
