HTA documentGetElementById

I've created the following HTA file to be run from the Windows Desktop. However, it produces an error when trying to retrieve an HTML element by its ID. Any ideas on how to fix this? Thanks.

<!DOCTYPE html>
<HTML>
    <HEAD>
        <meta http-equiv="MSThemeCompatible" content="Yes"/>
        <TITLE>
            Protos Changer
        </TITLE>
        <HTA:APPLICATION
            ID = "oApp"
            APPLICATIONNAME = "Protos Changer"
            BORDER = "thick"
            CAPTION = "yes"
            ICON = "hw.ico"
            SHOWINTASKBAR = "yes"
            SINGLEINSTANCE = "no"
            WINDOWSTATE = "normal"
            SCROLL = "no"
            SCROLLFLAT = "yes"
            VERSION = "1.1"
            INNERBORDER = "no"
            SELECTION = "no"
            SYSMENU = "yes"
            MAXIMIZEBUTTON = "yes"
            MINIMIZEBUTTON = "yes"
            NAVIGABLE = "no"
            CONTEXTMENU = "no"
            BORDERSTYLE = "thin"
        />
        <script>
            function init()
            {
                page_table = document.getElementById('page_table')
            }
        </script>
        <STYLE TYPE="text/css">
        <!--
            body        {background:buttonface;color:buttontext;font:10pt Arial;overflow:hidden;}
            select      {}
        -->
        </STYLE>
    </HEAD>
    <BODY onload="init()">
        <table id="page_table"></table>
    </BODY>
</HTML>

IE promotes the ID="page_table" element to a global variable named page_table and it dislikes you reusing this.

Add var to override this; var page_table = document.getElementById('page_table');

Or just use page_table right off the bat.
