The problem is likely that you're using an old version Prototype
somewhere. Try replacing your copy of Prototype with version 1.7 and
then remove the work-around hack.

The code is being called via the widgets bar(sidebar) (using a text/html
widget). The comments code I actually turned into a function
(conveniently placed in functions.php in the theme), so I could call it
with a function in the theme instead of needing to paste the code every
time.
Thanks!
