Gareth,

The intention is good, but the idea - not so much. While Prototype does tons
of great stuff to built-in prototypes, adds methods and fixes bugs, until
now we never messed around with original DOM methods.

What we will do (and already have - check the dom branch in SVN) is turn
Element into a constructor, so you will be able to:

  var ele = new Element('div', { attr: value, ... })

This will be available in 1.5.2. You can of course steal it from the branch
and use earlier than that.

Hi Mislav

Thanks for taking the time to provide a reply.

The new Element constructor will definitely be useful, and cleanly gets
around the createElement issue without altering the dom.
I didn't realise that prototype had a no dom method meddling policy, at
least not until I read #7744 and then it was too late :)
I guess its similar to the Builder class, looking at your example, in
scripty?

Yeah. Scripty could probably drop the Builder class once this gets into a
release.

[Prototype-core] IE6/7 Freezes from a simple If/Else with Prototype 1.4 1.5

[[EMAIL PROTECTED]]

http://groups.google.com/group/rubyonrails-spinoffs/browse_thread/thread/af4c707758c57973/8208e0fe9921b542

I originally posted to see if I was doing something odd that IE didn't
agree with.  At first I thought it was the hash option, but I'm not
sure exactly.

I went back to 1.4 and started adding objects piece by piece.  The
second I added this in 1.4:

function $H(object) {
  var hash = Object.extend({}, object || {});
  Object.extend(hash, Enumerable);
  Object.extend(hash, Hash);
  return hash;
}

Is when it started to freeze.

Similarly it was right after I added the Hash object in 1.5 that the
problem started to occur.
