Description
The $("<tag />") statement creates a normal DOM element like <tag></tag> for any tag value.
The $("<tag />").html("") statement should produce exactly the same.
But in fact, when tag is INPUT I get (with jQuery 1.4.2) the following DOM element:
<input><input xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"></input>
It may be easily controlled in the console, using:
$("<tag />").html("").html()
which returns an empty string for any tag value, except INPUT.
It's not valid to try appending *anything* to a tag that cannot other elements, such as <input> or <br>. Since it's an error condition, the browser may not give the results you expect.
