Description
  • Firefox 3.6 (and 4b7) returns:

jQuery.isEmptyObject("test") // false

  • IE7 returns:

jQuery.isEmptyObject("test") // true

Did not test other browsers or versions but can test if requested

As normal IE is the suspect here...

Docs updated to emphasize $.isEmptyObject should always be called with a real object.
