Possible to extend select element methods?

I’d like to be able to extend the select element so I can use the following syntax:

[code]
select.load = function (data) {…};
my_select_element.load(data);
[/code]

Instead I have to do the following (the horror…):

[code]
function load_select_element(select, data) {…}
load_select_element(my_select_element, data);
[/quote]

It’s a bit… 80’s, if you ask me.

Can I extend the properties of the select element, like the first example?

Cheers,
