The parentnode is a div with an ID. I've got something crazy going on here. div.parentNode doesn't work, but div.parentNode.parentNode works fine. If I put the actual ID into the cleanWhitespace: Element.cleanWhitespace('myDiv'); It doesn't work in IE, but putting in any other id and IE seems to execute it just fine. It doesn't seem to matter what is in the ID or what the name of the ID is.. I used the firefox view formatted source extension to grab all my rendered HTML and there doesn't seem to be any elements not closed or anything like that. I'll dig further. Thanks for the help everyone. _______________________________________________ Rails-spinoffs mailing list Rails-spinoffs@lists.rubyonrails.org http://lists.rubyonrails.org/mailman/listinfo/rails-spinoffs
