Description
In the attached example, I can't select the form through any method(jQuery('#mozdev-add-image-dialog').children('form'), jQuery('#mozdev-add-image-dialog').find('form'), jQuery('#mozdev-add-image-form'), jQuery('form')), and even trying to select the form's siblings or the form parent's children seems to fail (doesn't return - ex: jQuery('#mozdev-add-image-dialog').children()). If I change the input element inside the form named "action" to anything other than "action" the form becomes selectable.

Because of the way DOM1 properties of form elements work, it is not a good idea to give input elements any name that is also a property of the form (e.g., length, action, method, enctype, target). There are several long-standing tickets open about this including #3113 and #4039. I don't know if jQuery can easily fix this but in any case I'll close this ticket as a duplicate.
