title: radio Buttons and .attr('checked','checked')  does NOT work in IE7
body: <p>Is there any way to get radio buttons checked upon appending in IE7?</p>
  
  <p>What seems to work in every browser, doesn't look like it works in IE6,7 despite reading everywhere that I'm doing it correctly. I have absolutely no idea why it's not working.</p>
  
  <pre><code>var $itemVariantRowRadio = $("&lt;input/&gt;")
      .attr("type", "radio")
      .attr("name", "itemvariant")
      .addClass("itemvariant")
      .val('whatever');
  
  
      $itemVariantRowRadio.attr('checked', 'checked');
      $itemVariantRow.append($itemVariantRowRadio)
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Now if I do a <code>console.log($itemVariantRowRadio.attr('checked')</code> in IE6/7 then it says that it's set to TRUE but the radio doesn't actually get checked or pick up as checked.</p>
  
  <p>Nightmare! Anyone else come across this and have any sort of fix?</p>
