IE7 and IE8 issues with .load() and .html()

Description

IE7 and IE8 don't load some HTML, especially if invalid.

// This doesn't work sometimes
$('#example').html(data);

// This does consistently:
$('#example').[0].innerHTML = data;

I believe it may have to do with unrecognized attributes like "<div data-name="test"></div>".

Correction:

$('#example').[0].innerHTML = data;

should be:

$('#example')[0].innerHTML = data;

Thank you so much, in IE 8 using $('#example')[0].innerHTML = data; has worked.

I figured out why it was working with innerHTML and not with html().

Problem wasn't because of unrecognized attributes but invalid HTML. Once I found the extra ending tag, it started working in IE8.
