I agree with jdalton - performance hit.
I agree also that you shouldn't use the same values for name's and
id's.
$() is made for one purpose - to find elements with given id. It
should be VERY fast in every case as it's a base function of
Prototype.
IMO, if found' element's id isn't the same as given, maybe function
should even return null:
[...]
if (typeof element == 'string')
{
var id=element;
element = document.getElementById(element);
// not found
if (element === null || !element.id || element.id!=id) {
return null;
}
}
return Element.extend(element);
[...]
