Rails spinoffs - Nov 2007 - IE: error with Serializers[method] in getValue()

Hi,

Version: prototype 1.6.0
I''m using the $F function to get the value of a field. It works fine
in FireFox, but IE 6 and 7 are reporting "object does not support his
property or method" (translated from german).
In IE debugger it hightlights the line 3485:
---
return Form.Element.Serializers[method](element);
---

I searched the web, but this problem seems to be quite unique :-( Does
anyone have any idea?

Additional information:
1.) I include the prototype.js with this line:
---
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript"
src="/kunden/
comdok/die/openwebcms3.nsf/(ynDK_fileContainerByKey)/framework/$FILE/
prototype.js"></script>
---

2.) the call in which the error occurs is:
---
<input type="button" name="startsearch" value="Suche
starten"
onclick="searchPublikation(document.SearchPub.query.value,
$F(''author''), $F(''series''),
$F(''lang''), $F(''year'')
)">
---

Are you calling $F from inside of a either a ''load'' or
''dom:loaded''
observer?

If it''s an inline script, is it placed *below* the elements you are
calling in the DOM ?

Regards,

Tobie

Sorry,

I should have read your post more attentively before replying.

What I meant to check was whether or not the elements you are calling
do exists.

Is their id unique ?

Best,

Tobie

yes the elements exists, since it works fine in Firefox. Their ID is
unique.
Thanks for your help!
