Manually Rendering a Prototype JS Element Object
===

Is it possible to manually render a Prototype JS element without using one of the <code>update</code>, <code>insert</code>, etc methods?  If so, how?

That is, if I have the code

    var test = new Element('div');
    test.update("This is a test");

Is there a way to get a javascript variable with the string

    <div>Hello</code>
