Hi,
Apologies, I see now that the code you quoted is derived from the
Effect.Fade documentation[1]. And indeed, script.aculo.us's effets.js
does add a fade() method (and several others) to extended elements.
Here's a test page[2] that's happy with either Effect.Fade('target')
or a $('target').fade().
So there must be something else odd going on with your installation...
