Description
The best way to describe this bug is show code that illustrates it:
<head>
<script type="text/javascript" src="/js/jquery.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(function() {
$("#_edit_form").find("#test_field").val("TESTIT");
$("#_edit_form2").find("#test_field2").val("TESTIT2");
$("#_edit_form3").find("#test_field3").val("TESTIT3");
});
</script>
</head>
<body>
<p>
<form id="_edit_form" name="_edit_form">
<table>
<tr>
<td><input type="text" name="test_field" id="test_field" size="25" value="" /></td>
</tr>
</table>
</form>
</p>
<p>
<form id="_edit_form2" name="_edit_form2">
<input type="text" name="test_field2" id="test_field2" size="25" value="" />
</form>
</p>
<form id="_edit_form3" name="_edit_form3">
<table>
<tr>
<td><input type="text" name="test_field3" id="test_field3" size="25" value="" /></td>
</tr>
</table>
</form>
</body>
This simply creates 3 input fields and JQuery sets the values of each. In IE 9, the first one does not get set because JQuery doesn't find it. Something about the combination of <p> and <table> causes JQuery to not find the field. Removing either the <p> or <table> fixes the problem, as illustrated in the 2nd and 3rd fields. All three work in Safari, Chrome, Firefox and IE 8.

Ok, I understand, however, it begs two questions: 1) why does JQuery work in this context in every browser except IE 9? and 2) why does every browser render it the way one would expect it to look were it valid?
