title: jQuery html() in Firefox (uses .innerHTML) ignores DOM changes
body: <p>I'm really suprised I haven't run into this problem before, but it seems that calling jQueries .html() function on an element ignores changes in the DOM, i.e it returns the HTML in the original source. IE doesn't do this. jQueries .html() just uses the innerHTML property internally. </p>
  
  <p>Is this meant to happen? I'm on Firefox 3.5.2. I have a sample below, where no matter what you change the textbox value to, the innerHTML of the "container" element only ever returns the value defined in the HTML markup. The sample isn't using jQuery just to make it simpler (the result is the same using jQuery).</p>
  
  <p>Does anyone have a work around where I can get the html of a container in its current state, i.e. including any scripted changes to the DOM?</p>
