Make sure that this object is extended by Prototype before you ask for any of the Prototype goodies. IE has this habit of not following the prototype chain (small p prototype, that is) up to find the methods that Prototype puts there. If you modify your code thusly:
if( ! $(form['dobyear']).getValue... you will have no more error, because the first thing that happens is that Prototype will extend the raw object reference (because it was wrapped in the dollar function), turning it into a full-featured inheritor of all the goodies in all supported browsers.
