[Proto-Scripty] How to create a new DOM-element from a string?
Hi, I'm loading some plain HTML via Ajax.Request and insert it in a DIV. I need to perform some extensions on the HTML I load though, which brought me to the idea to create DOM from the loaded markup, extend it and insert it. So my question is: Is there a convenient way to create DOM from a string of HTML-markup? The only way I found, or have been told, is to create a DIV with new Element, insert the markup in it, and remove the DIV again. But I find that kinda hacky. Isn't there a good way for this?

It's OT for this list, but have a look at Prototype.js. You can create
a new DOM element in memory, and do all the things you want to it
without ever showing it to the user.
var foo = new Element('div',
{}).update(my_html).do_stuff_here().innerHTML;
