Hi Ran,
When you create an element there's about everything you can do with it
without it even being in your document. What you need to realize is that
some methods use the elements around your target element. If you haven't
inserted your element into your document this could cause errors.
You can create the entire element and child elements without any problems.
You can even update() it, and addClassNames() if you want. Just realize that
trying to find it's ancestor will fail when you haven't insert()ed it.
Greetings,
Johan Arensman
