The xhtml() call calls actually the formXhtml helper which is exactly
like any other form* helper in that it accpets an array of params. The
formXhtml helper grabs the XHTML from the 'value' key in the params
*and* you also need to give the element a name with the 'name' key. So
your call to ->xhtml() should be something like:

->xhtml(array('name' => 'xhtml', 'value' => '<div name="foo">'))

The error is 'ERR_NO_ELEMENT_TYPE' because you didn't give it a name.

Hope that helps :-)
