While working on a jQuery Interface project, I came across an issue with some code using the Draggable library.
It turns out in IE6 the cloneNode(true) does not properly copy the current state of all HTML elements. Checkbox, radio and select box elements all lose their current settings. I blogged some more info here: http://blog.pengoworks.com/blogger/index.cfm?action=blog:599 And here's an example: http://www.pengoworks.com/workshop/bugs/cloneNode_issue.htm (The example code uses straight DOM manipulation to simplify the examples and to show it's not jQuery specific.) Anyway, I believe this issue is the root cause of some other issues that have been reported about jQuery such as Ticket #769 (Checkbox's state is erased after wrap() action (IE 6)): http://dev.jquery.com/ticket/769 I provide a solution to fix the problem in my blog (and in the example code.) Perhaps this fix should be implemented in the clone() method and other places where cloneNode(true) is used. -Dan
