IE 7 doesn't like jquery ('<button / ">'). Attr ('type', 'button')

Question

I am trying to create a button using jquery. I am using the following code

jquery('<button/>', {type:'button'}).text(name)

However, this works in Safari, FF IE8, but not in IE7

I tried using the attr function:

jquery('<button/>').attr('type','button').text(name)

this doesn't work either.

what ideas will work? I suppose that if I don’t assign a type, there will be a button by default, but I would rather do it

thanks for the help
