Simon, a span element must not contain a form element. If you do that
anyway a selector isn't really predictable, because browsers most
probably close the span implicitly before the form starts.
So the DOM will look like:
<span> ... </span>
<form> ... </form>
instead of <span><form> ... </form></span> what you might expect.
Change the span to a div and try again - scripting on top of a broken
DOM is not reliable.
