Likely that varies by browser.

jQuery's html method essentially just returns the value of the
innerHTML property of an element. innerHTML is a proprietary IE
property that has been widely copied by other browsers. It has not
been standardised, nor does it have a published specification,
therefore its value is implementation dependant.
You should not rely on innerHTML (or the html method) returning the
same property across browsers where the content is anything other than
trivial. Form controls (or elements that can be form controls) are
particularly problematic.
