| 7 | | The reason this was put in originally was because people wanted jQuery to be "cross-browser" and behave consistently with respect to this problem. If we revert the behavior so that it tries to set the type of the button, it *will* die in IE. The code to totally work around the problem in IE -- create a new element, copy over attributes, data and events, replace the old element -- is not worth it IMO. But the ticket says patchwelcome; maybe someone can come up with a small, fast, well-tested fix. |
