[JENKINS-1049] Internet explorer cant handle the optional blocks #13860
Description
Im having issues with the Hudson configuration page when using internet explorer
7. It seems that the optional block doesnt work in IE 7, i can see the block
content even if the checkbox isnt checked. The status bar shows a JavaScript
error, which could well be the root of the problem: "Object doesn't support this
property or method."
Other types of hidden blocks works as they should.
The Advanced blocks are not shown until the button is clicked, as in Firefox.
The separate SCM blocks are not shown for those SCMs that arent selected, as in
Firefox.
Ive confirmed that the problem is showing up when using
http://ipinfo.info/netrenderer/index.php which can be used to test the web pages
in IE6 and IE7.

I just fixed this after seeing the problem mentioned on the mailing list
(http://www.nabble.com/Internet-explorer-and-configuration-page-optional-block-
tf4882434.html). I hadn't realised there was an open issue for it.
It was a problem caused by IE not allowing prototypes to extend element
objects. This meant that there was an error invoking the hasClassName
function. I changed the way it was invoked (in version 1.81 of hudson-
behavior.js) and it works OK now. Should be in Hudson 1.160.
