I'm not sure why this worked before, it must be related to the html/

Nope. It's sillier than that. Let's say you've got an element with an
ID of foo
Hi guys. I'm new in prototypejs and script.aculo.
But, lets consider Andrew Dupont's example again:
var f = new String(foo);
alert($(f)) //- foo
alert(document.getElementById('foo')) //- [object HTMLElement]
It has cause:
When String( ) is used as a constructor with the new operator, it

Like what exactly !?
Like when casting something to string when toString is not sufficient. I
don't know when that may be.
I was just stating this: although this may be
I don't see the harm in adding the second condition element
instanceof String
you could use :
if(element element.constructor == String)
This works for both foo and new String(foo);
I find that it is faster than using typeOf.
I have made very JavaScript heavy applications and noticed that

Using bracket notation in javascript seems to stop workiing when
prototype is included.
I'm not using the notation, but if Prototype breaks
This is very very unlikely. I use bracket notation with and without
prototype on many scripts that work cross browser. Check which other
libraries you are including, and make sure it is not a problem or
missing attribute of the object you are working with.

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
