You're welcome. I gave up being surprised what IE does somewhere back
in 1998.

That's very clever. Mostly I am surprised that only IE pukes on
what I assume to be a very common problem...
Anyway, thanks!

The easiest way around this is to write your code so it fails
gracefully. Either one of these will work:
$$('#noSuchElement').invoke(yourFunction);
or
var elm = $('noSuchElement');
if (elm) yourFunction();
The first one is my favorite, because it swallows any errors. If
you're saying that you're getting an error from IE just from trying
to use $('noSuchElement') all by itself, not actually trying to use
the return from that, then the first method is what I would advise.

I am sure this is a FAQ... but in IE prototype (version 1.7) throws
an error when there is a reference to an ID that is not on the page
(e.g., $('noSuchElement)). Is there some trick or idiom to work
around this?
