What version of Prototype.js are you using? Your earlier comment that Prototype "has not been a problem for years" makes me think you may be running a very old version, one that extends Object.prototype - which breaks all sorts of other code.
Newer versions of Prototype no longer extend Object.prototype. You can search the Prototype.js source code for Object.prototype or check the version number. -Mike On Fri, Apr 16, 2010 at 12:24 AM, CG <[email protected]>wrote: > Hi Justin, > > Thanks for your reply.
