I'm not able to reproduce this in FF. Your using jQuery 1.1.3a? Is your HTML valid? Could you post up the test page for the group to look at?
A workaround might be to use .find().
$('.search-advanced').find('#classtest').hide();

Following on, I was testing something unrelated, after moving back to FF, and it seems that the bug is the same in FF - ID selectors after a space break anything!

I think I've found a bug in jQuery with regards to IE -a blank .html page, with just the latest uncompressed jquery.js and a script file (linked in the header) that looks like this: /* <![CDATA[ */ // when the DOM is ready to be manipulated do some voodoo. $(document).ready( function(){ $(".search-advanced #classtest").hide(); }); /* ]]> */ produces an error in IE6 and IE7 (the line number is different in IE7); --- Line 968 Error: 'getElementById' is null or not an object --- however, these selectors produce no such error; $("#search-advanced .classtest").hide(); $(".search-advanced .classtest").hide(); $("#search-advanced").hide(); So it looks like IE doesn't like double ID selectors, or an ID selector after a space. Anyone seen this before, or can reproduce it? I'd rather not have to re-write bits of my site to use classes instead of IDs. *Luc Pestille* Web Designer ------------------------------ *From:* jquery-en@googlegroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] *On Behalf Of *Luc Pestille *Sent:* 29 May 2007 09:51 *To:* jquery-en@googlegroups.com *Subject:* [jQuery] Re: IE selector bug/error? Anyone have any idea on this? Non-existant selctors are breaking IE, which is fairly bad news for me!

I've found something that I can't get around; in IE6, these selectors won't do anything for me; 1. $("#admin-jobs #discipline_client_row").hide(); 2. $("#admin-jobs > #discipline_client_row").hide(); whereas this works fine (as you'd expect); 3. $("#discipline_client_row").hide(); In IE, number 1 gives me the error (when that div doesn't exist on the page): --- Line: 184 Error: 'getElementById' is null or not an object --- but number 2 reports no error, despite not finding the div on the page. Has anyone come across this before? Any help would be appreciated, IE is starting to drive me in to a coma.
