chromeHack method throws TypeError: optionElement[0].hasAttribute is not a function

Hi,

I have a custom directive that replaces with template <option ng-repeat> and this ends up throwing an exception in chromeHack on line 28664:

This also happens on v1.5.0-rc.1. It's because we are calling hasAttribute on a comment.

We've actually added a number of checks for comments, but it seems like this is another corner case. Given that this uses replace I'm not too keen on working on a fix. If someone wants to give it a shot, your're welcome. ;)
