Try this:

var newdiv = Element.extend(document.createElement('div'));
newdiv.setStyle({
  position: 'relative',
  width: '100px'
  ...
});

 
IE doesn't automatically extend new elements based on their Javascript prototype
even though it should since that's what prototype programming means. But oh
well.

 

Yes, IE doesn't support native prototypes for DOM stuff - only for core
JavaScript stuff like Array, Object, Function etc.
