multiple="True" is not a valid attribute on input type="text", nor is true a valid value for this attribute.

Repro in Firefox 3.6, Chrome 5 and Safari 5, but not IE 8. jQuery is not causing this, it's present in the native DOM. I think what is happening is that since
is a boolean property of the element, there is some common DOM code in the browser that is processing this attribute for elements as well.It's always a very good idea to avoid any names that are used by DOM elements, see http://yura.thinkweb2.com/domlint/ for some examples.
I'll leave this open for the moment but I'm not sure there's anything jQuery can/should do about it.
