That's because I called innerHTML on it at the end, and that returns a string. If you then want to create a new element out of that, you could try inserting it into your page somewhere with

$('someElementOnYourPage').insert({after: foo});

Of you could just leave the innerHTML part off the end, which would leave foo populated with the outer wrapper object created by new Element...

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.

Sorry, this was completely bone-headed of me -- I thought I was on
another list.
