Function.create .create automatically wraps the function into another one with the defined set of functionalities, therefore shortens your code. It's used throughout mootools itself, as the foundation for .pass, .bind, .delay, .periodical. brian mootorial:03-native Wed, 26 Nov 2008 01:29:50 -0700 http://www.mootorial.com/wiki/mootorial/06-fx/01-fx.tween?rev=1226596211&do=diff1226596211 Here is the documentation for Fx.Tween.js. This is where MooTools really shines. Smoothly modifying the properties of an element is super simple. You have a couple of options on how to do it, once again, and they each have trade offs. I'll start with the method of creating an object for the effect: Aaron Newton mootorial:06-fx Thu, 13 Nov 2008 10:10:11 -0700 http://www.mootorial.com/wiki/mootorial/05-utilities/00-selectors?rev=1225731376&do=diff1225731376 Selectors let you find elements in the DOM using CSS paths. Note that $$ is defined in Element.js, but it only lets you get elements by tag name. $$ $$ is defined in Element.js, but when you include Element.Selectors.js, it becomes much more useful; you'll use it a LOT.

It offers more functionality and richer tools for writing javascript, taking what has historically been painful and fraught with buggy environments (the browsers) and presenting you with a much more reliable environment. By adding it to your environment (i.e. including the script in your page) you are ab… Aaron Newton mootorial Thu, 30 Oct 2008 10:18:33 -0700 http://www.mootorial.com/wiki/mootorial/08-plugins/02-utilityplugins/03-assets?rev=1222970513&do=diff1222970513 Assets.js provides on-the-fly loading of images, css, and javascript files. Here is the documentation for Assets.js. Assets.javascript Returns a new script tag with the source and (optional) properties you specify. *Note* that it inserts the tag into the DOM (in the head) for you.

Reusable code was the stuff that was generic. Slideshows, date pickers, etc. Aaron Newton mootorial Thu, 18 Sep 2008 14:55:11 -0700
