Attaching custom properties to elements is quite useful, but you don't
need to attach a property to Element.prototype in order to do it. You
should probably attach properties something like this:
$$('.brothers').invoke('writeAttribute', '__isBrother', true);
// OR
$$('.celebrity').each(function(element) {
var brother = element.next();
element.writeAttribute('__brother', brother);
});
// OR
$$('.celebrity').each(function(element) {
var brotherId = element.next().identify();
element.writeAttribute('__brotherId', brotherId);
});
If that isn't helpful, maybe you could tell us more about what your
application needs to do.
