[Rails-spinoffs] Adding Properties to DOM::Elements as opposed to adding Methods

[EricGoogle]

Hello,

Can Element::addMethods() be used to add properties to Elements in
addition to adding Methods?

I assume IE prevents properties being added to DOM::Element in
addition to preventing the adding of methods - so is it possible to
use prototype.js to add properties as well as methods to DOM::Element?

thanks for any insight.

ex.

var myMethodsAndProperties =
{
     myFirstMethod: function( arg)
     {
         element = $(element);
         // do something
         return element;
     },

     myFirstNewProperty:  var newProperty;  ????????????????
};

Element.addMethods( 'DIV', myMethodsAndProperties );
