 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.
