Rails spinoffs - Jan 2008 - I'm stuck!! $(parentElement || document.body) has no properties

Hello all,

I''m building an AJAX webpage using the Zend Framework and
Scriptaculous. The web page has a portal like application that is
similar to Google''s ''Personalised Home'' (iGoogle).
With draggable
applets that provide various functionalities. I borrowed quite a bit
of the original code for this portal application from here:
http://aymanh.com/drag-drop-portal-interface-with-scriptaculous

This code works with Scriptaculous 1.5.1 well, but the minute I
upgraded to 1.8.1 the portal application failed to work in IE or
Firefox.

Firefox gives me the following error: $(parentElement ||
document.body) has no properties
This break happens in prototype.js on line 4129.

IE gives me this error: ''_eventID'' is null or not an object

This is the code that starts the portal application (found at the URI
above).

[code]
      var settings = {"portal-column-1": ["block2"],
"portal-
column-0": ["block1"]};
      var portal;
      function init() {
        portal = new Portal();
        portal.applySettings(settings);
      }
      Event.observe(window, ''load'', init, false);
[/code]

I hope I''m making sense here. If anyone can help I would be very
thankful!

Regards,

Socceroos
