Can you try to use Firebug to debug? Something must have gone wrong some where. Good luck. Seth, I tested on my site, it worked fine, I got the alert. Can you try to use Firebug to debug?

Any ideas? Hope this doesn’t get mangled, but I tried

Object.extend(Form.Element.Methods,{
  activate: function(element) {
    alert("activate2");
    element = $(element);
    element.focus();
    if (element.select)
      element.select();
    return element;
  }
});

Element.addMethods();

and my app is still using the original activate() method. Any ideas?
