If that doesn't work, then you've done something wrong somewhere. 'Cause it works for IE for me and everyone else.
The only advantage I see with the YUI toolkit is that it'll defer attaching events to elements that do not yet exist in the DOM. Big whoop, only a sloppy programmer would try to attach an event to a non-existant element. With Prototype, you can bind the handler function to an object of your choice and create your own scope. I didn't see that option on the YUI documentation I read. (it automatically binds the scope to the element the event acted upon, which is pretty much never what I want).
