$(...).html(object) should use its custom toString() method.

[jdalton]

I was messing around with $(...).html(....) and was surprised that it didn't use my object's custom toString() method.

You can see an example here: ​http://jsbin.com/uqazuk

According to the jquery docs, the html method only expects a string or a function:

I don't know if the interface should be changed, but here is a patch that will do it:

This is feature creep. It is far too simple to pass a string or function.
