In theory, yes. The "three nodes" is how IE represents supposedly invalid
DOM nodes. By utilizing document.createElement("fakeDomNodeName"), the IE
DOM starts to think that those invalid nodes are in fact actual elements.
Using this technique allows you to use CSS to target and style
HTML5-specific elements that previously found themselves in the "three
nodes" malformation. [1]
So maybe if you try the document.createElement() method, you can use
Prototype to remove the nodes, or at least use CSS to set their { display:
none; }
