append() functions problem IE6

[cardil]

This works fine:

$("p").append("test");

This will crash:

$("p").append(" test");

This works fine:

$("<span>test string</span>").appendTo("p");

This will do nothing (but no critical error):

$("test string").appendTo("p");

I think that problem may be that text node doesn't have nodeName atributte so script fails then in IE6

Test Case

[nathanhammond]

The first three scenarios I could not get to fail. Tested in all browsers, and especially in IE6 (Version 6.0.2900.2180.xpsp_sp2_gdr.070227-2254, native, not in a VM, not concurrently installed with any other version of IE). The fourth scenario is not a valid call to the API at this point (treated as a selector, not as a text node).

Reopen with a valid test case that shows the error for the second case. Fourth is indeed invalid.
