Hi John, This usually happens when you try to call a Prototype method on an Element instance that hasn't been extended [passed through $()]. On almost everything but IE, that's fine, but on IE you have to be sure to pass the instance through $().
There's an article on this in the new unofficial Prototype & script.aculo.us wiki, in the Troubleshooting section: http://proto-scripty.wikidot.com/prototype:object-doesn-t-support-this-property-or-method If you give that a quick read and then look at your application code that's calling into Prototype when the error occurs, you'll probably see where the missing $() should go. More about the general topic of extending elements here: http://www.prototypejs.org/learn/extensions HTH, -- T.J.
