This appears to be an issue with IE's shoddy implementation of
getAttribute. (http://tobielangel.com/2007/1/11/attribute-nightmare-in-
ie)
If you do...
$$('a.appLink')[0].getAttribute('href');
... you'll get the resolved URL ("file://foo/bar/whatever/dd.html" if
you're running on a drive) instead of the literal value of the href
attribute ("dd.html"). Prototype's own Element#readAttribute attempts
to fix this (and is used internally by $$), but it appears to fail
after a call to Element#update.
I'll file a bug on this and make Tobie do all the work. I doubt a fix
for this will get into 1.5.1, but I'm sure we can address it for
1.5.2. Meanwhile, you can use the "$=" operator as a workaround.
Cheers,
Andrew
