To clarify:
$() extends elemets for you and so does every other DOM related
methods in Prototype.
using "new Element('div', {attributes...})" instead of
"document.createElement('div')" also solves that problem.
when you store an element inside of a class, do this:
this.element = $(element);
like that you're keeping a reference to the extended element.
