Okay, so I stepped through the code. I'm going to hazard a guess that you
didn't want the previous element but the parent element.
$('#LHNav ul').prev() returns an H1 and an array of A elements.
This is because prev looks for the sibling element just in front of the
current one.
$('#LHNav ul').parent('li') will, I believe, return the results you are
looking for.

P.S. IMO, the really odd thing is why FF worked when I believe it should
have returned an empty set. Anyone else have any ideas?
