I wrote a pretty useless puzzle game that makes use of Mootools. I was updating the ‘about’ page on this blog, and I was looking for an original way to show a picture of myself. So take a look at the the about page and play around with it.
I’ve updated my previous post Mootools CSS Styled Scrollbar. I’ve added instructions about how to make it work with Mootools version 1.11. Also the example is updated. On the Mootools forums someone called ‘horseweapon’ wrote a simple function that used my code to make scrollbars. I used his function to work with the example. You can see the updated example over here.
I wrote a small piece of javascript that creates a css styled scrollbar from the Mootools (version 1.2b2) Slider class. I know there is a scrollbar class for Mootools but it’s more than 100 lines of code. If you only need one or two bars, try my solution instead. The example page shows three div elements with a styled horizontal and/or vertical scrollbars.
Ever wondered how the Mootools development team tests Mootools SVN Trunk code? Personally, I don’t think they build their js file with the download builder bookmarklet I posted a few weeks ago. I’ll go into how to load all Mootools components from the SVN Trunk when testing.
Personally, I love Mootools download builder. There’s just one feature that is missing, it becomes very annoying everytime I needs the entire Mootools library. I can remember the old (?) download builder had a “check all” button, which included (checks) all Mootools components to the file I was about to download. Nowadays, the download builder doesn’t have this feature anymore. Well, actually the download builder has the functionality to check all components, but it lacks a button. I wrote a bookmarklet that let’s you do the trick.
While browsing the Mootools forums I came across an excellent post by Fløe Rasmus. He explains to a mootools newbie how to use the selector functions $ and $$. In this article I’ll explain how $, $$, $E and $ES work, and as a bonus I’ll list all the dollar functions in Mootools v1.11.
I’m writing this article because my old article about the Mootools ajax class is outdated because of the API changes in Mootools version 1.0. This article will be an update of the previous article.
Great news, Mootools finally reached 1.0! Things definitely have changed, so it’s time for checking out new functionality. There are a lot of new classes like Color, Event, Hash, Common and some more. Mootools feels more mature with all the great functionality that’s added to the latest version.
A few days ago someone mailed me how I made the ’search’ and ‘about’ tabs that appear on every page on solutoire.com. In this post I’ll explain some techniques like ‘height transitions’ and ‘class toggles’. Sounds pretty hard but you’ll see it’s quite easy. You can see the result at example page 2.
