Description
When I create an input element with a name, the name gets removed when I add it to another element (e.g. a form). the name gets added fine (as indicated by the first alert), but no longer exists after adding (second alert lacks name attribute).
$(
function()
{
var action = $("<input type=hidden>").attr(
{
"name": "whattodo",
"value": "delete"
});
alert(action[0].name); // name seems to be added fine
alert($("<form>").append(action).html()); // where has name gone?
}
)

This happens without the use of jQuery as well as pointed out by Dave Methvin on the list.

This turns out to be one of those persistent IE bugs, well documented here with some unappetizing workarounds:
http://www.easy-reader.net/archives/2005/09/02/death-to-bad-dom-implementations/
The problem I see for applying any of these in jQuery is that there isn't a convenient way to detect the situation and apply the workaround.

The easiert way to workaround this is to provide the name in the first string, that is:
$(
function()
{
var action = $("<input name='whattodo' type='hidden'>").attr(
{
"value": "delete"
});
alert(action[0].name); // name seems to be added fine
alert($("<form>").append(action).html());
}
)
Any other ideas? This workaround can hardly be integrated into jQuery, therefore I'd just place a note somewhere in the documentation. But where? $(String)? attr(String, String)?

Added a note in the documentation of attr(String, Object) for this issue.
This sounds like an issue with Internet Explorer and .getAttribute().
