Here's the link to the bug I filed:
http://dev.jquery.com/ticket/5892
And a link to a test page:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/11686/test.html
A better description and STR are on the linked test page.
This behavior is only occurring in IE 6-8 with jQuery 1.4.0. Previous versions of jQuery and/or other browsers seem to work as expected for me.
Can anyone duplicate this one?
Thanks,
Aaron
