As I was combing through the API yesterday, I saw a HUGE surprise
ELEMENT IS A CONSTRUCTOR!! HIP HIP - HOOORAY!
Just what we needed!
Now, there was something I didn't understand. Can you append a newly
created html element
// fancy_input = new Element('input', {yada:'yada'... }) //
to an existing element
// $('my_test_form_thingie').insert( bottom: fancy_input ); //
(is element.appendChild() called internally)
Also, can I chain stuff like this:
[A] $('my_test_form_thingie').insert( bottom: fancy_input, bottom:
'<br /> This thing I inserted above is a fancy input. Prototype I love
you. Marry me!' );
OR must I use
[B] $('my_test_form_thingie').insert( bottom:
fancy_input).insert(bottom: '<br /> This thing I inserted above is a
fancy input. I like chaining.. boohoo.. :(' );
Cheers!
