Description

<script type="text/javascript">

var controllerID='11';

var controllerEID='1';

var controllerPARENTID='0';

$(document).ready(function(){

// Bug

$('<input type="hidden" name="id" value="'+controllerID+'" />').appendTo('#frm');

Fine

$('<input type="hidden" name="uid" value="'+controllerID+'" />').appendTo('#frm');

$('<input type="hidden" name="eid" value="'+controllerEID+'" />').appendTo('#frm');

$('<input type="hidden" name="parentId" value="'+controllerPARENTID+'" />').appendTo('#frm');

$('#bt').click(function(){postar();return false;});

});

function postar(){

var f=$('#frm');

Bug returns [object HTMLInputElement]<input type="hidden" value="11" name="id">

alert(f.get(0).id);

}

</script>

</head>

<body>

The key is this line in your example:

    alert(f.get(0).id);

The bug you are reporting is actually outside jQuery, since 

f.get(0)
gets the raw DOM element and you are selecting the 
id
property.

There are already open bugs requesting that jQuery work around this browser bug where possible, but this particular case could not be worked around at all by jQuery since the bug at the point of use is raw DOM and not jQuery.

For more information see #4575 and #3113.
