It's native client-side Javascript, so it seems unrelated to PrototypeJS to me. The correct syntax is

var el = document.createElement('input');
el.name = "x";

Thanks for answer. I know correct syntax for create input element but in prototype js HAS_EXTENDED_CREATE_ELEMENT_SYNTAX function create input element using above syntax. Can i change code in prototype js ?

Seems that Microsoft removed support for their proprietary createElement syntax in IE9. See here. What's more, it seems that their documentation is not up-to-date, i.e. there's a discrepancy between the description of the example code and the code itself.

To create elements like you are referring to in PrototypeJS you would do it like this :

var el = new Element('input',{'name':'x'});

This will work across all browsers that PrototypeJS supports
