Just tried on an Windows XP system, with IE 7.0.5730.13, and it breaks
with error "'null' is null or not an object".
I have looked at the code (when the debugger loaded), and the error is
thrown because $('sauce') returns null (hence 'not an object' when
trying the get() method)
Actually, if you could link an uncompressed version of mootools 1.3 to
the document, it would help. Otherwise I guess I'll have to debug the
code locally. So, what's your mootools build like, and do you have the
compatibility layer on?
