No worries about that!
I'll try the above tonight or tomorrow. For now, I just removed
prototype.js altogether (except $() ). I started adding piece by
piece the rest of the script and it froze right after I added the Hash
object and methods (in both 1.4 & 1.5). I submitted a bug for that.
Though it's a shame it's because of IE's faulty implementation of
JavaScript.
Ah well,
Cheers!
