Rails spinoffs - Feb 2008 - document.form.request(...) doesn't work with Opera

Thought I would report a bug.

I am using Opera 2.5 and prototype 1.6.0.2

It seems that if you refer directly to a form by using
document.formname  then the request function doesn''t work.
EX -- document.formname.request( {onComplete: function(res)
{ alert(''done'') } } );

If you refer to the form using this syntax $
("formname").request(...);  then it works
EX -- $(formname).request( {onComplete: function(res)
{ alert(''done'') } } );

You probably meant Opera 9.25 : )
The former example doesn''t work because element is not extended.
