Ok, what I wanna do is this:
-----
var mystring = '<div class="something"><p>text <a href="#">link</a></
p><p>More text</p><img src="asd" /></div>';
var myDomObject = createDomFromString(mystring);
var methodsAndProperties = {"someProperty": "someValue",
"someFunction": function() {}, ... };
Object.extend(myDomObject, methodsAndProperties);
$('myDiv').insert({top: myDomObject});
-----
In "normal" words, what I want to do is create a DOM-Object BEFORE I
insert it, so I can perform some extensions on it, and dont't have to
do:
-----
var mystring = '<div class="something"><p>text <a href="#">link</a></
p><p>More text</p><img src="asd" /></div>';
var foo = new Element('div', {}).update(mystring);
var myDomObject = foo.select('.something').first();
Object.extend(myDomObject, methodsAndProperties);
$('myDiv').insert({top: myDomObject});
-----
or even insert it, and then search for it.
