> The alerts in following code do not show the same result in > IE6 due to a bug[1] (also discussed on stackoverflow.com[2]).
That's a well-known bug for those of us who lived through the dark time when IE6 was the most popular browser in the world (for some definition of popular). > 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)? At this point it doesn't seem worth the extra convoluted code to normalize, since the bug is already documented in a lot of places and easy for users to work around. Is there a place that makes sense to mention this in the jQuery docs? If the docs had mentioned it, would you have found the mention and avoided the bug? Or would it simply have been one of the first results for your Google of "jQuery ie6 input name bug"? :-) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "jQuery Development" group.
