type property can't be changed

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Anyone else getting this error in Firefox?

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. jQuery("#Time").timepicker(); 

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
+ input#Time should be replaced with the timepicker selects
+ Instead, get error:

Error: [Exception... "'type property can't be changed' when calling method: 
[nsIDOMEventListener::handleEvent]"  nsresult: "0x8057001e 
(NS_ERROR_XPC_JS_THREW_STRING)"  location: "<unknown>"  data: no]

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
+ Firefox 3.0.10
+ Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-GB; rv:1.9.0.10) 
Gecko/2009042316 Firefox/3.0.10 (.NET CLR 3.5.30729)

Please provide any additional information below.
+ The offending line is 96:

    $(this).attr('type', 'hidden').after(output);

Workaround:

    $(this)[0].style.display="none"; 
    $(this).after(output);

Try this:

$('#obj')[0].type = 'newtype';
