You've said "Element.extent" in two different posts now. Just to be absolutely sure we're not overlooking something obvious: There is no "Element.extent" function in Prototype. There is an "Element.extend" function, which is used by $() (and others). Has your prototype.js file gotten messed up or something? If it's just a typo, no worries (I have several standard typos I keep repeating), but seeing it in two different notes makes me think I should flag it up. Assuming it's just a typo: Fundamentally, Prototype 1.6.1 *does* work in IE6. I've used it in a couple of intranet projects in organizations where IE6 is still (shudder) the corporate standard. So the question is what's happening in your specific situation. I'd probably look at debugging this line by line in Visual Studio or Visual Interdev. In particular, since you're saying that `Element` is undefined at the point where $() is calling it (which is Truly Weird), I'd look at walking through the Prototype bootstrap and in particular lines 1770-1784 where `Element` is getting set up. But first I'd double-check that my copy of Prototype hadn't gotten messed up somehow by downloading a fresh copy and comparing. FWIW, -- T.J.
