In jQuery 1.1.4 scripts get automatically evaluated when they're attached to the DOM. But they're also evaluated when they're attached to elements which are not part of the document DOM yet.

I think scripts shouldn't be evaluated until they're attached to the document DOM.

Simple test:

function test()
{
	var test_script = "<script type=\\"text/javascript\\">alert(\\"hello!\\");</script>";

	var test_elem = jQuery("<div></div>");

	test_elem.html(test_script);
}

When executed, this function displays the alert "hello!". I think it shouldn't unless you insert test_elem into the document DOM.

This breaks compatibility between 1.1.3.1 and 1.1.4 on my website.
