Description
At the very least, please specify in the documentation. Better yet, have it properly handle this case.
Check code for proof:

This is a long standing, well-known, problem in a browser that has been around for years. Google will find the proof; here's one but keep looking if you'd like.

The workaround is to specify the
nameattribute in the markup. Google will mention that too.I'm sure everyone who has ever burned time on a problem like this is thinking, "Well I wrote this with **jQuery** so they should have mentioned every possible deviation and browser quirk at the top of the **jQuery** documentation for any affected method because that's where I started to look for help." But if we did that the docs would be a mess and totally unreadable. Sometimes you just have to know where to look. Or ask Google.
If you have a patch that works in a general way that we somehow missed, we could consider it.
