Please provide any additional information below.
Researching, I found the following information in the prototype documentation,
http://www.prototypejs.org/learn/extensions , that appears likely to be the
cause of the error. I can't confirm further because I don't know where in the
application javascript the offending call was made.

Because the prototype of the native browser object is extended, all DOM
elements have Prototype extension methods built-in. This, however, isn't true
for IE which doesn't let anyone touch HTMLElement.prototype. To make the
previous example work in IE you would have to extend the element with
Element.extend(). Don't worry, the method is smart enough not to extend an
element more than once.
Because of browsers that don't support this you must take care to use DOM
extensions only on elements that have been extended. For instance, the example
above works in Firefox and Opera, but add Element.extend(my_div) after creating
the element to make the script really solid. You can use the dollar function as
a shortcut like in the following example:
// this will error out in IE:
$('someElement').parentNode.hide()
// to make it cross-browser:
$($('someElement').parentNode).hide()
