Having fun with IE - part 1: getAttribute()

The start of a series of funny and not-so-funny IE-bugs; today: DOM attribute handling colliding with the document.all object-model.

HTML:

<form id="foo" action="#">

    <fieldset>

        <legend>Example</legend>

        <input type="text" name="action" value="whatever">

    </fieldset>

</form>

<script type="text/javascript">

    alert(document.forms['foo'].getAttribute('action')); // [object] ?

</script>

Are you laughing yet?
