[jQuery] rowspan behavior with ie

[jQuery] rowspan behavior with ie


Hi the list,
I was trying to change the rowspan on a table cell and notice that it
was not
working with ie. (I was doing something like $('...some
cell....).attr('rowspan',15);)
It was working with other browser.
Using debug bar I noticed that the computed cell html code was like
this:
<td rowSpan=5 rowspan='15'>....
So then I change my code to use rowSpan (with a uppercase S) like
this
$('...some cell....).attr('rowSpan',15);
That code works with ie and other browser.
I was wondering, why should I use rowSpan and not rowspan? Why it does
not work on IE but works in other browser?
Thanks!
