jquery find('object') problem in ie6

Question

I have a problem with ie6 when searching for an inserted object with jquery. I do something like this:

var obj = $('<div></div>').html($('#embedded_video').val()).remove().find('object');

where in the embedded_video textbox i insert an object taken from youtube or so. This works great in FF and IE7&8 but does not seem to work in ie6. I tried to modify the command to look for something else like ...find('a') and it also works in ie6 so the problem only appears when i search for 'object'.

Can anyone help find another method to do the search?

Thanks

I'd be curious to find out more. What do you get when you do this. Do you see you object in the html?

alert($('<div></div>').html($('#embedded_video').val()).remove().html());

Also, what happens if you use closest() instead of find(). Although, if you're looking for more than one object, this maybe isn't for you.
