Description

On IE8, I have element <a href="http://testurl">test@test</a> and use .attr('href', 'http://testurl2') to change the href. But the text part (test@test) is changed to http://testurl2 too.

The repro is at: http://jsfiddle.net/7x3RV/2/

Well a fix would add, imo, too much overhead. As jitter's second link mentions (though i put in a check for the @ before bothering with replacing crap)

var $a = $(this), // assuming your link element in a click handler or whatever
       old = $a.html();
$a.attr('href', '//whaver'); // set the href
if ( old.match( /@/ ) ) { // or indexOf , whatever
    $a.html( old );
}

Given that there is a workaround for this but the workaround is impractical to get into jQuery core I close this one.
