DOMination - Simple jQuery DOM Manipulation Library
probably based on work by Michael Geary:

===================================================
The idea behind DOMination is pretty simple - just include it, and you can create jQuery DOM elements with functions named after the HTML tag which you want to create a node to represent. It's a shorthand notation for $(some_html), essentially.
Each function takes a list of arguments representing child nodes of the node you want to create. Passing a dictionary as one of the nodes allows you to set the attributes of the node, as well.
For example, to create a DIV node with its class set to "wooo" and text of "text", you would just use this:
var node = DIV({'class':'woo'}, 'text');
In that line, node contains a jQuery DOM object representing the DIV node, it's equivalent to doing just this:
var node = jQuery('<div class="woo">text</div>');
What's convenient is that you can arbitrarily nest these function calls to create any ui you'd like:
var form = FORM({id:'ui_form'},
INPUT({type:'text', name:'field1'}),
INPUT({type:'text', name:'field2'}),
INPUT({type:'submit'})
);
Elements that normally have click events bound to them can also be passed a function, such as the anchor tag:
var link = A(function() { // Do something on click }, {title: 'My Link'}, 'Link text');
