It's not a jQuery bug.

It's a not-so-well-known Javascript "feature"

Apparently innerHTML in FF3 and IE6+ (And maybe others) don't like form tags as part of innerHTML. If you want, you can test it:

<div id="test">
   <form>
      <input>
   </form>
</div>

<script>
    window.onload=document.getElementById('test').innerHTML = "<form><input type="hidden" name="blah"></form>";
</script>



Result:

<div id="test">
    <input type="hidden" name="blah">
</div>

Not quite sure why, but that is how they implement it.
