Ticket #8772 (closed bug: fixed)
Using .attr() to set input type 'range' causes script error in IE9

Description
jQuery versions tested: 1.5.1, 1.5.2
Browser: IE9
System tested: Windows Vista
Test: http://jsfiddle.net/stephband/nYB98/3/
IE9 fails to gracefully handle the setting of unsupported input types. Where other browsers handle unsupported input types gracefully, for example:
jQuery('<input/>', {type: 'sheep'})
IE9 throws an error. Perhaps jQuery could explicitly set the type 'text', or perhaps set nothing at all, when you try to set unsupported types in IE9?

I'd be happy to help, but perhaps you could correct me on something. Does IE9 still not support range inputs? I don't yet have a VM that can run IE9, but I'm working on getting one. It certainly would be sad to discover that IE9 throws an exception every time you set an unsupported input type.
Please follow the bug reporting guidlines and use jsFiddle when providing test cases and demonstrations instead of pasting the code in the ticket.
I'm assigning this to timmywil as he is currently writing the attrHooks module. Beyond that, i have not tested this issue.
