[jQuery] [OFF TOPIC] Really weird Behaviour in IE
I just found the oddest behaviour in IE6.
If you have an <a> tag with content that is a domain name e.g. :
<a href='www.google.com'>www.google.com</a>
if you set the href attribute (via jquery or natively) to another
domain name - it will change the innerHTML to reflect this.
E.G.
$('a').attr("href", "www.yahoo.com")
will turn this into
<a href='www.yahoo.com'>www.yahoo.com</a>
If the innerHTML is not a domain. then it won't do this.
You can see that the IE programmers we obviously trying to do
something helpful here - but too much magic is a bad thing : just
wasted 1/2 an hour on this .
