jQuery read attribute value with spaces

I have the following html:

<div type="Text with spaces" eventid="57" class="movie">...</div>

How can I read the type attribute with jQuery?

I tried this:

var type = $(".movie").attr("type");

but type contains only Text.

UPDATE:
This is how I was using this variable:

 $("#publicationBlock").load("/Publication/EventSchedule?eventId=" + eventId + "&type=" + type

In the action, I get only Text.

that should work.

var type=$(".movie").attr("type");
alert(type);

fiddle here..

see if u missing this.
1) make sure your code is inside ready function $(function(){..
2) check the jquery version.. latest is better

updated

<div type="Text_with_spaces" eventid="57" class="movie">...</div>

and explode with '_' in your EventSchedule function

I don't see the problem here?

This example is exactly the same as your code, but it was able to display the entire attribute: http://jsfiddle.net/rFYpE/

var type = $(".movie").attr("type");
alert(type);

How are you using the variable type?
