The alerts in following code do not show the same result in IE6 due to
a bug[1] (also discussed on stackoverflow.com[2]).
$('<input type="hidden" />').attr('name', 'foo').appendTo
(document.body);
alert(document.getElementsByName('foo').length); // Alert shows "0"
in IE6 and "1" in other browsers
$('<input type="hidden" name="bar" />').appendTo(document.body);
alert(document.getElementsByName('bar').length); // Alert shows "1"
in all browsers.
Working demo: http://jsbin.com/urajo
Should jQuery normalize or at least warn the user about this
discrepancy (like it does when attempting to change the 'type'
attribute on <input/> elements)?
