Description

This is really incredible and took me some time to find out !

Problem

Load the mockup in IE6 or IE7, you'll get "0" instead of "1" printed on the alert box.

Workaround

Don't set input name attributes to "length".

Mockup

<html>
  <head>  
    <script type="text/javascript" src="http://jquery.com/src/jquery-latest.js"></script>
    <script type="text/javascript">
      $(function() { alert($('INPUT').length) });
    </script>
  </head>
  <body>
    <input name="length">
  </body>
</html>

I believe I finally tracked this down to the jQuery.merge method. The for loop in that method isn't running because the expression,

second.length

, points to the node instead of pointing to the size of the array.
