children looks for immediate child elements only where as find looks for all the elements within it until its last child element down the dom tree. If you are saying find is working that means the element you are looking is not its immediate children.

Try to alert this jQuery(this).children('#Image_center').length see what you get.

FYI. Even when any element is not found jQuery will return an emtpy object it will never be null. So alert an emtpy object will always give you [object Object]. You should alwasy check for the length property of the jQuery object.

Try this

alert(jQuery(this).find('#Image_center').length);//To check whether element is found or not.
