Description

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Load the following HTML in IE 6 or 7: 
<html>
<head>
  <script src="jquery.js"></script>
</head>
<body>

  <a name="foo">MUAHAHAHAHA!!!</a>
  <p id="foo">Greetings, program!</p>
  <input type="button" value="Greetings, program!"
         onclick="alert($('#foo').html());" /> &lt;= broken in IE6/7

  <hr />

  <p name="bar">MUAHAHAHAHA!!!</p>
  <p id="bar">Greetings, program!</p>
  <input type="button" value="Greetings, program!"
         onclick="alert($('#bar').html());" />

  <hr />

  <a id="baz">Greetings, program!</a>
  <p name="baz">MUAHAHAHAHA!!!</p>
  <input type="button" value="Greetings, program!"
         onclick="alert($('#baz').html());" />

</body>
</html>
  1. Click on the first button

Expected Result

"Greetings, program!" in the alert box

Actual Result

"MUAHAHAHAHA!!!" in the alert box

Notes

The name attribute only clobbers the id attribute when name is on an anchor tag, as the other two instances on the above page demonstrate.

The bug appears in IE 6 and 7, but not in Firefox 1.5.

This is with jQuery 1.1.1.
