Rails spinoffs - Oct 2007 - Form getElementsByTagName("*") is empty

I''m having problems serializing a form.

I''ve narrowed the problem down so that if I break in
Prototype''s
getElements function, and trace into the $A that makes an array of the
return of $(form).getElementsByTagName("*"), the iterator
doesn''t
contain any elements. However, looking at the form variable in FireBug
shows all the elements I''d expect to be there.

I''m executing the getElements from within an onChange handler on a
SELECT element in Firefox 2 if it''s important. I was originally trying
to update my containing DIV using the item selection via an AJAX
request, but couldn''t get it working because of the above.

Anyone have any pointers? I''m pretty new to this.

Thanks
John

Interesting update - I''ve just tried this in IE6 and the form
serializes OK, so why am I getting different behaviour from Firefox 2?
