// this script is deprecated do not use newNode function! use jQuery instead
/**
* Create a new DOM node for the current document.
* Basic usage:
* var mySpan = newNode('span', "Hello World!")
* Supports attributes and event handlers:
* var mySpan = newNode('span', {style:"color: red", focus: function(){alert(this)}, id:"hello"}, "World, Hello!")
* Also allows nesting to create trees:
* var myPar = newNode('p', newNode('b',{style:"color: blue"},"Hello"), mySpan)
