Does the element exist in the DOM at the time you are trying to extend
it? Is your script which is asking for it either:
A) At the bottom of the page, say just before /body
B) Wrapped in a document/dom:loaded listener function, so it only
fires after the DOM is ready
...?
My example code would not help you if the object didn't already exist
in the browser's memory.

As said in the original post: It is the $() functions itsself which
fails. $() calls Element.extent, and IE6 complains about Element to
not support the method request.

You will get this error in IE when the object you are trying to
manipulate in Prototype has not been "extended" yet[1]. You can work
around this by using the $ function to get and extend the object
before attempting to manipulate it.
var elm = $(elm);
if (!!elm){
//your code here
}

when you call this?
"Element" is the Element-object from the prototype library. The
library has been included and other objects like Ajax are present.
