With just the old propose you could get the same effect like this: Element.create('div', {}, Element.create('svg', {}, Element.create('g', {}, Element.create('rect', {title: 'An svg rectangle in an HTML div'})))) Chaining .create() is certainly less verbose. Doesn't work as well for inserting multiple children into an element though. Regards, Maciej
