Corrects a javascript error on IE8 when trying to save preferences.

When trying to save system preferences in "/admin/preferences.pl", an error is returned when clicking on the Save button in IE8 :

----------------------------------------
Webpage error details

User Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 8.0; Windows NT 5.1; Trident/4.0; .NET4.0C; .NET4.0E; .NET CLR 2.0.50727)
Timestamp: Wed, 30 Mar 2011 19:25:09 UTC


Message: 'this.localName' is null or not an object
Line: 40
Char: 17
Code: 0
URI: https://www.******.com/intranet-tmpl/prog/en/js/ajax.js
-----------------------------------------

It looks like elem.localName isn't supported by IE8. I modified ajax.js so it uses elem.nodeName instead, which should be equivalent and has better cross-browser support.

Patch attached, please test.

This seems to be a duplicate of Bug 5862. A patch for that has been pushed to both master and 3.2.x.
