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 :(

Please follow the  bug reporting guidlines and use  jsFiddle when providing test cases and demonstrations instead of pasting the code in the ticket.
