Then that is a bug in IE 8.  readAttribute uses getAttribute, which
returns a string in browsers that are compliant with the W3C DOM Core
spec:

Which is compliant with the spec.

An alternative is to use the DOM property for HTML attributes (i.e.
inputElement.value) - what does that return (I don't have access to IE
8 at the moment)?
