Had to prove to myself that was even possible, I've got it done
although I know it could be written a bit smoother, it gets the job
done for the example. Seems like too much work to get such a simple
task accomplished but it does allow for a nice private variable,
getter/setter pattern.
var ref = function(){
var state = 0;
this.set = function(incoming){ state =
incoming;};
this.get = function(){ return state; };
}
Element.addMethods("DIV", {
stateReference : function(ele){
if(!ele.stateReferenceGetter)
return ele.stateReferenceGetter = new
ref();
else
return ele.stateReferenceGetter;
}
});
To check out the demo in action,

Demo goes down in Firebug basically, speaking of which today is FF 3
Download Day, show some support!!
