Right? The same questions just keep coming up, it'd be sweet if people searched before they posted. This is a pretty apparent complication of prototype, as well as thoroughly documented.
Quoted from http://prototypejs.org/learn/extensions "Because the prototype of the native browser object is extended, all DOM elements have Prototype extension methods built-in. This, however, isn't true for IE which doesn't let anyone touch HTMLElement.prototype. To make the previous example work in IE you would have to extend the element with Element.extend(). Don't worry, the method is smart enough not to extend an element more than once."
