Description
alert() returns 'undefined' in 1.4.3 and correct field value in 1.4.2
without using ", form" everything works fine.
$("a[name='btn_edit'].btn.edit").click(function(event) {
        event.preventDefault();
        var form = $(this).parents('form:first');
        alert($("input[name='action']", form).val());
    });

Please check your posting. Some words/characters seem to be missing in this part of the post >using ", form" As you didn't provide a test case I tried to craft one by reverse engineering your jQuery code. test case But I can't reproduce the described problem under jQuery 1.4.3 in any recent browser. Please add a test case on http://www.jsfiddle.net which reproduces your problem and add information in which browser this happens
My test case: http://www.jsfiddle.net/bixority/U8vcH/
If you will entirely remove listFormListDiv and all its children from HTML - it will work ok.

This doesn’t have anything to do with the .parents method.
