Description

I'm sorry for nitpicking, but since all but one error messages have their first letter capitalized, it might be a good idea to capitalize the following error message too.

type property can't be changed

inside jQuery.attrHooks.type.set.

I think it is a logical choice to leave type lowercase because it is an attribute name.

In the error message it is a property.

In the error message it is a property.

In which case timmywil's argument still stands

We could use this as an excuse to improve the exception and make it clear to users, perhaps...

"The 'type' property of an input element can't be changed"

(ps I meant to post this two hours ago, forgot to press submit)

It's both actually. I'm ok with making the error message clearer. Seems pretty clear to me tho.

@timmywil I'm not ok with changing it to be _wrong_, the message should be reworded, if anything
