Description (last modified by )
For instance if you have an input with id "someid" with a custom attribute "multiple" that has the value "True", then the following evaluates to true: (typeof $("#someid").attr("istrue"))==="boolean" in chrome.

| Summary: | Attribute type inconsistency in chrome → Attribute type of "multiple" in chrome/safari/firefox |
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 multiple is a boolean property of the select element, there is some common DOM code in the browser that is processing this attribute for input 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.
