Rails - Aug 2006 - "RJS Error: TypeError: $(element) has no properties"

i have lots of divs, which are added via link_to_remote. now i want to 
delete them with a link_to_remote button for each. i am giving them ids 
with the same name and a serialized number. when trying to access them 
with javascript/rjs, strange things happen: "RJS Error: TypeError: 
$(element) has no properties?. is this a rails, rjs or prototype bug? or 
am i missing something?

see my code below


# i am rendering forms via partial collection
<%= render :partial => "address/update", :collection => 
@person.addresses %>


# the partial
<div id=''addresslist<%= update.id %>''>
<div id=''deletebutton''>
[<%= link_to_remote ''x'', :url => {:controller =>
"address", :action =>
"destroy", :id => update.id} %>]
</div>
<%= form_remote_tag( :url => { :controller => "address",
:action =>
"update" }, :html =>{:name => update.id}) %>
<div id=''ls''><label
for=''address_country''>Land</label></div>
<%= text_field "address", "country", "size"
=> 30, :value =>
update.country %><br />
<br />
<%= submit_tag "Aktualisieren" %>
<%= end_form_tag %>
</div>


# the controller
def destroy
Address.find(params[:id]).destroy
return if request.xhr? # render RJS instead
end


# the RJS
page.visual_effect :fade, ''addresslist''+params[:id], :duration
=> 1
page.replace_html ''adresslist''+params[:id],
''''
