Done but with errors on when page loads.

I am using prototype 1.7 and get an error on line 5736
element.fireEvent(event.eventType, event);
and 5988
return $(parentElement ||
document.body).getElementsByClassName(className); prototype.js
"element.fireEvent(event.eventType, event);"

The error I receive is....

Is this a known issue? I am using IE8.

You are trying to invoke methods on not extended element in IE8, right? E.g. instead of $(element).fire("some:thing") you are using element.fire("some:thing").

Have a read through this tutorial from the prototypejs.org site:
http://prototypejs.org/learn/extensions

Elements can be automagically extended on other browsers, but not IE.
You have to make sure you're dealing with an extended one. All
elements you get via Prototype are pre-extended for you, but if you
create or retrieve them via other means, they won't be. See the
article for details.
