One question, if you're referring to your elements by id, can't you just do:
$('#elmId'); Directly? Rather than by a parent/child relationship? If the problem is that you have multiple elements on the same page with the same id (which is NOT recommended HTML), then I suggest using a class based solution instead: $('.container > .elm') And see if that helps.

Hi I've got an application that has a pop up div which has controls that submit an ajax post before which I'm getting some hidden variables from within the popup div, I'm using 'live' with the popup div controls. I'm referencing the elements by their parent id then their specific Id, eg $("#container > #elmId").val(). This works fine in firefox but not in Safari, I get an undefined if I alert the variables. It also works fine in both browsers using jquery 1.2.6 but not with 1.3. Has anyone else has similar problems?
