Absolutely.


You can use ...

Element.addMethods('UL', {
        addItem: function(element, s_TextOrHTML) {
                // Extend the select.
                element = $(element);

                // Create the new LI
                var o_LI = document.createElement('LI');
                element.insert(o_LI);
                o_LI.update(s_TextOrHTML);

                return element;
        }
});

maybe. Slightly tested.

This adds a new method to all ULs.

$('someULid').addItem('Text or <b>html</b>');
