Hi Jake,
I know you said to cancel your post (it had already been posted), so
you're not expecting an answer, but:
> element = Element('div') // Doesn't work when created this way.
It's "new Element(...)", not "Element(...)". (See [1], scroll down to
"Element as a constructor").
> element.attachEvent('onclick', function(evt) {alert('hello')} ); //
If you're using Prototype, why not use Prototype?[2]
[1] http://prototypejs.org/api/element
[2] http://prototypejs.org/api/element/observe
FWIW,
