Setting Up Elements
Once you know how much easier it is to get elements all around, you should take the time to learn how MooTools has provided a simple access API around the browser quirks for Elements. And on top of it, we’ve extended this API to things that you don’t normally find on Elements. And as cool [...]
MooTools Core 1.3 beta 2
Over the past couple of weeks we have got a lot of great responses over the initial beta of MooTools Core 1.3. We have since improved both the code and the documentation in order to release a second beta. Most notably we have removed the dependency on Hash. If you build 1.3 without compatibility you won’t get the [...]
A Magical Journey into the Base Fx Class
Fx is not just for animating elements In a recent project I worked on with Thomas Aylott the page did some calculations and displayed the result after the user pulled some sliders around. Rather than just change the text from one number to another, the element would increment the number before the user’s very eyes. [...]
Announcing: MooTools in Real Life
If you’ve been paying attention for the past few years, you’ve probably noticed the growth of MooTools, both as a project and as a thriving community. Unfortunately, it has come to light that many so called “members” of the JavaScript community may, in fact, be automata. To protect ourselves and the MooTools community, we’ve started [...]
More than Meets the Eye: Form Validator
Continuing with my “More than Meets the Eye” series, today I want to talk to you about the MooTools More Form.Validator. There was a comment left on my last post in this series (about Form.Request) specifically requesting that I cover this relatively complex plugin that’s useful for telling users about the validity of data they [...]
MooTools 1.3 ßeta 1
MooTools 1.3 beta 1 launches today. Lots of bug fixes and improvements, and all that jazz. Before presenting you with a random rundown of features, let me be clear about something: MooTools 1.3 is (or will be) 100% compatible with every public documented API of MooTools 1.2. So chill already. Anyways, here’s what’s new: Globals MooTools 1.3 moves [...]
Object Oriented jQuery with MooTools @ jQuery Conference
Hey there MooToolers. I just returned from speaking at jQuery Conference 2010 in San Francisco on “Object Oriented jQuery with MooTools” and thought I’d share some notes on the experience. My Talk If you ask me how I did I’d say I missed a few connecting ideas but got the concept out there and got some [...]
Dojo and MooTools
Over the past several months we here at MooTools have been contemplating how much of what we do is duplicated effort. When we started this whole project years ago it was because we wanted to do things our own way, but as MooTools and JavaScript in general have progressed, we find ourselves facing the tedium [...]
Get friendly with the Natives
Have you extended a Native lately? It’s an incredibly helpful thing. Often people write ugly functions that take a string or whatever as an argument and return some manipulation of the string. Extending natives is a great way to do the same thing, but it is much prettier (aka: explicit, readable, easier-to-debug.) The Difference: I’ve seen stuff [...]
A Better Way to use Elements
Javascript development in the browser is all about the Elements. Manipulating the DOM happens every few lines of code. It’s important enough that some libraries provide little more than DOM enhancements. Not to worry though, MooTools provides greatly in this area as well. $ and $$ Most of you probably know the two document methods getElementById and [...]
