I see - it finds the mainDiv correctly, but not the div inside of it. I will
have to work on a fix to the lib to handle cases like this. Here is my test
case:

If there were ever a case of a news agent hosing posted code that would
have to be the winner :)
For what it's worth, it seems to work properly in FF2 and O9.
Maybe this one won't get hosed:
