Rails - Sep 2011 - rjs error TypeError: element.getElementsByTagName is not a function in rails 3+jquery

hi,


    i am using rails 3.0.10
 i am trying with sample application for searching data from table and
updating
my search.html.erb file is
<%= form_for (@employee) do |s|%

<div id ="search_details">
<%= s.text_field :name%>
<%= s.text_field :emp_id, :onfocus =>
''sal(document.getElementById(''employee_name'').value);''%>
</div>
<% end %>

when i click tab it calls sal() jquery function and i sent the data to
action, in action parameter is
processed well, but while replacing div with partial page i am getting
following error like

RJS error:

TypeError: element.getElementsByTagName is not a function

Element.update("upc_search", "\n  \n    <div >\n     
<table border \"1\">\n        <tr>\n          <th>\n
<label  >No</label>
\n            <br />\n            <input tyep=\"text\" 
value=\"1\"
size=\"30\"/>\n          </th>\n          <th>\n       
<label for\"id\" >id</label>\n            <br />\n  
<input tyep=\"text
\"  value=\"0123456789123\" size=\"30\" />\n        
</th>\n
<th>\n            <label for=\"Name\"
>Name</label>\n      <br />
\n      <input tyep=\"text\"  value=\"Lotion\"
size=\"30\" />\n      </
th>\n     </tr>\n     </table>\n    </div>\n\n    <br
/>\n \n");


 i used
https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jqueryui/1.8.16/jquery-ui.js,
https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.6.3/jquery.js
for jquery process

could any one provide me solution ?

You probably should''t use prototype methods when you''ve chosen
jquery as
your js framework.

Exactly what it says: getElementsByTagName is a basic JavaScript
function of *document*. So you need to look at your JS to see where
that''s getting muddled...

Perhaps you could be a little more explicit about what part of that you
consider to be "wrong" ?  :-)
