Hey MMason,
You're correct, element is defined in that scope, i retract
my previous prescription.
I'd recommend using Ajax.Request to see if you're method is
working. What I believe could potentially be causing the problem is
the Updater's native code is attempting to update the element after
your onFailure function has already updated it, in which case you
might see some odd behavior, but i am not sure of that.
I also highly highly recommend downloading firebug for help
with debugging ajax applications, it allows you to monitor all XHR
requests, you can read the XHR's post request variables and its
response, whether it fails or not.
Cheers,
Matt
