$('<input/>').attr() failure in IE6

[uence]

The code below fails in IE6 with the error:

"This command is unsupported."

at line 562 of jquery-latest.js v.1.1.3.1

$('<input/>')
      .attr({
            type:'submit',
            name:'cancel',
            value:'Start over',
            className:'button',
            autocomplete:'off'})

The issue seems to be with adding attributes using the method above to the INPUT element.

$(document.createElement('input'))[0].type = 'submit';

works fine but

$('<input/>')[0].type = 'submit';

fails with "This command is unsupported" error.

In IE, we can change the type attribute of an <input> created by document.createElement, but not one created by wrapper.innerHTML = '<input/>'.

This is an odd in IE. Should jQuery fix it?

Same problem like ​http://dev.jquery.com/ticket/1359

jQuery will not fix this. Documentation available at: ​http://docs.jquery.com/Core#.24.28_html_.29
