calculus - If limxtoinftyfracsinxx=0 is zero, why does it not work with L'hospital's way?

I just got a simple question regarding the use of L'Hopitals method for finding limits. Usually L'Hopitals method can be used to find limits like
limx0sinxx=limx0ddxsinxddxx=limx0cosx



Here if we plug 0, we can find the limit of the original function sinxx at 0 using the cosx function. Put 0 in, and you will get 1, which is correct. However, if we replace x with , we don't get the right limit.



cosx


cos()




Which is not right for the limit of the original function, as limxsinxx=0

Using the new function which we get via L'Hopital's method does not help get that. Is this like a special case? In what cases could then L'Hopital's way not work?
