Non-form elements don't have a "value" attribute, so $('city')--or
$F('city') for that matter--don't have anything to return. Since
$('zip') _is_ a form element (an input), it returns the value of the
input. Update works because update's not working on the value of the
element, it's working on the children of the element, that is, the
element's contents--but those contents aren't the value of the
element.
If you want to access what's in $('city'), you've got to do something
like $('city').firstChild.nodeValue, or just $('city').innerHTML.
