I tried creating a test case but it worked for me. What version of IE and what doctype? Can you provide a complete test case?

Confirmed, this also fails in IE8 RC1. Putting the code in a 

.ready()
doesn't help either. Thanks for the test case!

Actually, this isn't related to #4084 - this has to do with using getElementsByName.

The problem here is that you have an invalid attribute on an element (name attributes aren't valid on divs). Thus IE is having trouble finding them - I recommend using a different attribute instead (maybe a class - or an ID?).
