You can use the Element.From that Aaron showed, thats is more reliable or
use your function that won't work for some elements (table elements).
var create_dom = function(html){
var tempDiv = new Element('div', {html: html});
var firstElement = tempDiv.getFirst();
tempDiv.destroy();
return firstElement;
}
This might work and remove will temporary div.
