I ended up using $ on input because IE kept complaining about a missing function or something. Adding that seemed to get it working in IE, though debugging IE is so frustrating it's possible something else I did resolved it. Thanks!

All in favour of Element::getElement and getElements - You don't need $each, u can use the Array::each: $$(document.forms).each(... ... form.getElementsBySelector('input, select').each( ... - You never declare var hint, so hint is a global scope, bad idea - No need to bind input to the event callback, this in an event callback is always the element Some hints for shorter and faster code
