How about
$("<input type='hidden'/>").attr({id:"myid",

I think that would work although the way you have it would be faster.
Most elements you could just say $("<div/>") to create a new one but
in IE the input requires the type be set. So you have to specify the
type in the inital jQuery call as shown above.
Hey David,
Very interesting that the way you mention above is not as fast as
putting in the whole HTML string at once. In our books, Jonathan
Chaffer and I chose to build new elements the "slower" way --
with .attr({}) -- to make the code more readable and to keep it closer
to the "DOM Scripting" ideal, but I hadn't tested comparative speeds,
assuming that there wouldn't be much of a performance hit.
