If you haven't done so yet, install Firebug and enable it for your
page. Then click the "Script --> Break on all Errors" option and
reload your script. If there's a syntax error or something which is
causing an silent failure, this will normally point you directly to
it. Other than that, i don't have any tips.

That's right - selectors match only what's currently in the dom at the
moment (but the new livequery API can also catch future matches). It
sounds like you've found the problem.
