To set the value:

$('tr').attr('id', 'someValue');

To get the value:

var id = $('tr').attr('id');

No need for the .val(), just use this:

var rid = $('tr').attr('id');

.attr('attributeName') returns a string (in most cases) of the attribute, .val() is for getting the value from input type elements (<input>, <select>, <textarea>, etc).
