Description

When using the Window Prototype js component (for instance from ChenilleKit) with IE, there is a javascript error when opening the window : "Style is null or isn't an object"

Modifying the meethod getOffsetParent in prototype.js, l 2089, and replace

while ((element = element.parentNode) && element != document.body )
with
while ((element = element.parentNode) && element != document.body && element != document)

solves the issue. I know this is a Prototype issue, but since Tapestry 5 is due to be released, i think it ought to be dealt with.
