You shouldn't need to:

   <div id="hook"></div>
   <script type="application/x-javascript">
     /* in an XHTML document this would have to use createElementNS(), not
        createElement(), but that's another story */
     var element = document.createElement('INPUT');
     element.onclick = function() { ... };
     // etc...
     document.getElementById('hook').appendChild(element);
   </script>

(The above might need some tweaks to work in legacy UAs like Windows IE6,
but the basic principle should work in any UA with DOM1 support.)
