myarray should be declared as an array prior to trying to use it as one.
  myarray and thiselement are globals, are they being affected by events
elsewhere in your code?

Try this test:

   <div id="element1of12">element1of12</div>

   <script type="text/javascript">

   function simple_example()
   {
     var myarray = ['element1of12'];
     var thiselement = document.getElementById(myarray[0]);
     if (thiselement){
       alert( thiselement && thiselement.nodeName );
     }
   }

   </script>

An element with an ID of 'element1of12' must exist before you try to get
a reference to it.
