.html() ignores current text input value

Description

html() on text input fields doesn't include the current value of the input field into the "value" attribute of the html tag.

E.g.: http://jsfiddle.net/uRCnK/2/

Expected console output:

input type="text" id="textfield" value="aaaa">

Observed console output:

input type="text" id="textfield">

Or type "xyz" into the text field and click te "print" button

Expected console output:

input type="text" id="textfield" value="xyz">

Observed console output:

input type="text" id="textfield">

I am not sure, though, whether this is a bug in jQuery or in the Javascript engine itself (i.e. the implementation of the innerHTML property)

Works the same with or without jQuery. That's just not the way dynamic properties work. If the user has their name half-typed into the field and you clone the element you can't expect the half-typed input in the html.

var inputs = $('html').find("input:text");

$.each(inputs,function(){

$(this).attr('value',$(this).val());

});
