Prototype JS: IE Issues

Anyone having issues with the latest update of Prototype JS? I started using Prototype so things could be cross-browser very easily. And now portions of it are broken.

IE throws a “script error” when I try to do:

$(’dataContainerId’).innerHTML = ‘<p>stuff</p>’;

This didn’t happen until recently, when I started using the latest edition. It works in FF. Why not IE?

Anybody? You can find this question over at the Google Groups discussion.

Update 1: Roland tells me that it should be: $(’dataContainerId’).update(’<p>stuff</p>’);

Update 2 (delayed):  the .update() method did work.  Just be careful if you use underscores [_] in the ID names… that doesn’t always fly in IE with this, for some reason.
