In IE (6 & 7) attr("href", "bla") on an anchor element results in adjustment of the anchor's HTML body as well

Description

The following code

$("a").attr("href", "bla");

adjust the href attribute of all anchors to "bla". In IE (6 & 7) not only the href attribute is affected though, but also the anchor's HTML body. In Firefox and Opera this problem does not occur.

Thus,

<a href="yadda">click here</a>

will be adjusted to

<a href="bla">bla</a>

I haven't tested whether the problem occurs in other circumstances as well.

I could not duplicate this in IE 6 or 7. Perhaps it's already been fixed.
