Interesting problem here and I don't think it's a prototype bug, but I
corrected the issue.
Here is what was happening if anyone's interested Here is a short
explanation:
Ajax Call generates some html into a div with this function inside:
GetNextField = function() {return('thenextfield');};
In an included .js file there is another function that goes like so:
function NextField()
{
FieldName = new String(GetNextField());
// then doing so breaks
$(FieldName).focus() or document.main[FieldName].focus();
}
It's the 'new String' that's breaking it, but prior to adding
prototype and dumping all this into a layer with ajax it worked just
fine
The fix:
FieldName = GetNextField();
Bracket and prototype notation both work.
I'm not sure why this worked before, it must be related to the html/
script being generated into the div from the ajax.updater rather than
just being on the page.
Not a prototype issue.
