Description

Prototype.js is broken in Wordpress 3.1.0 when used in IE6 to IE8. It gives a script error on line 4821:

var nodes = $(element).getElementsByTagName('*');

The error is that this method is not supported by this object.
I changed that line to:

var nodes = element.getElementsByTagName('*');

And now it runs fine in IE6-IE8

I'm definitely no guru with javascript, so I'm not sure if this is the preferred fix.
I also tried using prototype-1.7, but that gave the same error.

Since WP itself doesn't use prototype.js at all any more, this error is likely caused by some other code (from a plugin or theme) that's using it wrong.

Feel free to re-open this ticket if you can prove that the cause is some change made since WP 3.0. (You can leave comments while the ticket is closed, in the mean time)
