For some reason, jQuery strips the closing embed tag from HTML which is output from a plugin.

For example, the following -

$(this).html('<object id="jasonlau_dot_biz" classid="CLSID:22d6f312-b0f6-11d0-94ab-0080c74c7e95" codebase="http://activex.microsoft.com/activex/controls/mplayer/en/nsmp2inf.cab#Version=5,1,52,701" standby="Loading ..." type="application/x-ms-wmp" width="300" height="40"><param name="fileName" value="http://jasonlau.biz/public/mixdown.mp3" /><param name="autostart" value="false" /><param name="loop" value="true" /><embed id="jasonlau_dot_biz" type="application/x-ms-wmp" pluginspage="http://microsoft.com/windows/mediaplayer/en/download/" src="http://jasonlau.biz/public/mixdown.mp3" autostart="false" loop="true" width="300" height="40"></embed></object>');

outputs this -

<object id="jasonlau_dot_biz" classid="CLSID:22d6f312-b0f6-11d0-94ab-0080c74c7e95" codebase="http://activex.microsoft.com/activex/controls/mplayer/en/nsmp2inf.cab#Version=5,1,52,701" standby="Loading ..." type="application/x-ms-wmp" width="300" height="40"><param name="fileName" value="http://jasonlau.biz/public/mixdown.mp3"><param name="autostart" value="false"><param name="loop" value="true"><embed id="jasonlau_dot_biz" type="application/x-ms-wmp" pluginspage="http://microsoft.com/windows/mediaplayer/en/download/" src="http://jasonlau.biz/public/mixdown.mp3" autostart="false" loop="true" width="300" height="40"></object>

Also, the /forward-slash is being stripped from the end of the param tag.

This seems to only happen with output from a plugin.
