insertHtml not returning HTMLelement? - Ext JS

Using a3r2 on firefox, with firebug,

executing this:

Ext.DomHelper.insertHtml('beforeBegin', Ext.get('act').dom, '<div id="loading"><div class="loading-indicator"> Loading...</div></div> ')

It creates the "loading" div, but doesn't return the new HTMLElement. A little investigation shows that insertHtml is returning " "- just a space. Hurt me when I was trying to use the return value in centering it (which I'm now doing with an Ext.get("loading"))

With beforeBegin it returns the "previousSibling" of the refNode. In your case that would a textNode with a space in it. class="loading-indicator"> Loading...</div></div> ') <--- space at end
