Sure, this is something I have struggled with as well. The return from
a Template.evaluate call is not the generated object, but some other
form of return (probably a boolean success or something like that --
not exactly sure).
If you need to get access to the object immediately after creating it,
you may want to use the new Element() syntax instead of Template,
because this:
var foo = new Element('div',{id:'bar'});
will return a handle to the element, even before you add it to the
page, while Template.evaluate may need you to pause a beat before $
('bar') will access the element from your page after you've inserted it.

Using Prototype version 1.6.1 (I know everyone is up to 1.7 but we
can't upgrade at this time)
Code looks like this:
var selectThis;
var radioTemplate = new Template('input[type=radio][name=#{selectID}]
[value=#{selectValue}]');
var bValue = 1; // this is actually set from the rc of a function
and is absolutely 1 but it shouldn't matter
selectThis = {selectID: 'owner', selectValue: bValue };
$$(radioTemplate.evaluate(selectThis))[0].writeAttribute("checked",
"checked");
the last line causes a throw and all processing stops. any ideas?
Thanks,
Phil
