Unfortunately, IE doesn't distinguish between attributes that are present http://danheberden.com/share/b9cacb3.png - if you specify a blank string or nothing at all, htmlFor is still ""
In browsers like chrome, attributes is an array which means we can check if it was present at at all. http://danheberden.com/share/f61812.png
Thus, a limitation of IE unfortunately :(
you may also try to remove the doctype in IE8
