Description
Dynamically creating elements and then setting the type throws an error in IE7 and IE8 but not in other supported browsers.
var el = $('<input/>');
el.attr('type', 'text'); // throws an error
Tested in 1.11.0, 1.10.1, and 1.9.1 with the same results.

There's also a note on http://api.jquery.com/attr/ about this.

C'mon, *nobody* reads the docs page. Can you provide an authoritative link to StackOverflow?
Yes, and we cannot fix that because the browser just doesn't allow it. Until jQuery 1.9 we used to throw an error on *all* browsers to make them equally dumb, but decided that was a bad idea.
