I do not think so, what about this case:
<script src="prototype.js"></script>
<input type="text" value="ie bug" name="test" />
<input type="text" value="this value should be returned" id="test" />
<script>
alert($("test").value)
</script>
If use your $ in ie and opera it will return null, but it should
return the element which has the id "test" element, so I use $$ and
detect the first matched element. My purpose is let the $ function has
the same result on all the browsers. No matter ie opera or firefox or
safari
