Hi, Dunno if this is just a typo in your mail, but document.main.[name].value won''t work anyway, you''d need document.main[name].value i.e. no dot before the bracket. Prototype doesn''t do anything to affect the syntax of the core language, nor could any piece of Javascript, as far as I''m aware.

There''s a mistake in the above example, maybe that''s where your issue comes from.

Your right about the typo above, but it''s not like that in my code, yet it breaks with prototype and not without. I am also finding problems like, $(Name).focus(), where Name is a variable and the field Name is an input field in a form, error is object doesn''t support property or method. I"m not sure what''s going on with both these, I can do $(Name).value and it works, but $(Name).focus() breaks, it''s just input type text field???

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
explanation:
Ajax Call generates some html into a div with this function inside:
GetNextField = function() {return(''thenextfield'');};
In an included .js file there is another function that goes like so:
function NextField()
{
FieldName = new String(GetNextField());
// then doing so breaks
$(FieldName).focus() or document.main[FieldName].focus();
}
It''s the ''new String'' that''s breaking it,
but prior to adding
prototype and dumping all this into a layer with ajax it worked just
fine
The fix:
FieldName = GetNextField();
Bracket and prototype notation both work.
I''m not sure why this worked before, it must be related to the html/
script being generated into the div from the ajax.updater rather than
just being on the page.
Not a prototype issue.
