If the fieldsets you want are a direct child of the form, try:

$('form > fieldset')

what about using find(), what is the parameter? – David Sep 19 '11 at 03:46
@david, `$('form').find('> fieldset')` or `$('form').children('fieldset')` – Petah Sep 19 '11 at 03:50
If neither of these work then that might mean the fieldsets you are trying to target aren't direct descendants of the form. Can you post your HTML? – katy lavallee Sep 19 '11 at 17:32

You could use the direct descendent selector: form > fieldset.
