<select> added by jquery not working on ie 8

Try this on internet explorer 8.

I discovered the bug trying to do something like this

$('#mydiv').append( $('<select><option value="8.54">8.54</option><option value="8.6">8.6</option></select>') );

OR

$('#mydiv').append( $('<select></select>').append( $('<option value="8.54">8.54</option>'), $('<option value="8.6">8.6</option>') ) );

Seems to work fine:

Also, the HTML passed to jQuery() MUST be valid markup, the case there needs a closing div tag.

I had to reinstall my internet explorer 8, was browser bug, even that I tested on 2
