<div id="source">
Source:
<div>
<input type="checkbox" checked="checked">
</div>
</div>
<div id="target">
Target (cloned using HTML - fails in IE9):
<div></div>
</div>
<div id="target-without">
Target (cloned without HTML):
<div></div>
</div>
<p style="padding: 1em">
Note that in IE9 the target (cloned using HTML) checkbox is not checked, confirming that <a href="http://bugs.jquery.com/ticket/10550">#ticket 10550</a> is in fact a bug, and relates to the html() call after a clone.
