Description

In IE8 a security warning is shown when cloning a HTML including a LINK tag in HEAD with a relative path.

The example below shows the warning (it has to be used inside an HTTPS connection):

<html>

<head>

<script type="text/javascript" src="/path/to/resources/jquery-1.8.3.js"></script>

<link href="/path/to/resources/resource.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"/>

</head>

<body>

TEST

<a href="#" class="test">Clone HTML</a>

<script>

$(".test").click(function() {

var newPage = $("html").clone();

});

</script>

</body>

</html>

I've tested it with jquery 1.10.0 with same results.

The code works properly in IE9, FF, Chrome and Safari...

Duplicate of #6587.Old IE is very picky about content manipulated when it's not connected to a document, and when that document is secure. There doesn't seem to be much we can do about it.
