Lets suppose that I have the following markup: <div id="placeHolder"> </div> and I have a javascript variable jsVar that contains some markup and some javascript. By using Mootools 1.1 I can inject the javascript content to the placeholder like this: $('placeHolder').setHTML(jsVar); This works in Firefox, Opera and even Safari and...
On the front page for MooTools, it says: MooTools code respects strict standards and doesn't throw any warnings. I like MooTools, but having recently read The art of throwing JavaScript errors, I'm a bit confused as to why 'not throwing any warnings' is a feature. If a library doesn't tell you when there's an error (which may b...
hi ! in my eternal internal fight on whether to stay with mootools or jump to jQuery I've found on the jQuery documentation something that got my attention and this is that jQuery can ask for a JSON to a different domain, which is usually forbidden by the browser. I've seen some workarounds for cross-subdomain, but never cross-domain, ...
Okay, so I have a site running Joomla and it is using the mootools 1.11 framework. I've fudged together a working version of this using examples from the mootools 1.2 framework but cannot get the two to co-exist even with the compatibility layer, without breaking other modules in the Joomla site. Question I have a couple of divs with a ...
I have nested sortable list that can have items dynamically added or removed and can be nested n-levels deep. On nesting, a new ul element is injected into whatever li element is selected to be the parent. The initial state of the list is something like the following: <ul id="parent"> <li id="One"><a href="" class="listLink"><span c...
Using mootools and JsonP I get "invalid label" error in Firefox Error console JsonP seems to work (I get the data correctly) {"jsondata":[{"title":"title1","link":"http://xxxx.xxx.xxx","thumbsrc":"http://xxxx.xxx.xxx/17_t.jpg" ,"description":".......","pubDate":"2009-03-09 06:26:00",},{"title":"title2","link":"http://xxxx.xxx.xxx","th...

I am using javascript and trying to write out a filter function which filters an array of data.I have an array of data and an array of filters, so in order to apply each filter on every data, I have written 2 for loops foreach(data) { foreach(filter) { check data with filt...
Hi, The following lines of code do two things. The first two lines add classes to the siblings immediately before and after an element with a given id (in this case a UL with id "nav") The last two lines add the classes first and last to the first and last sibling elements whose parent has the id "nav". This is jquery. How would I ach...
On my CSS I have: li.sort:hover {color: #F00;} All my LI elements under the 'sort' class function properly when the DOM is ready. If I create a new LI element (using mootools el.addClass(classname)) I can set the base class, but can't figure out how to add a "hover" class to it. Any ideas? d. ...
When looking at Ext JS, I don't get the feeling that it's meant for the same things as jQuery and Mootools. Whilst jQuery and Mootools help with the general workings of a site, Ext JS seems to be focussed on tables and storing data, plus manipulating it. So, is this observation correct, or is Ext Js fit for the same work as jQuery and ...
I'd like to get at the variable name of class. var Poop = new Class({ getClassName: function() { return arguments.callee._owner.name; } }); var a = new Poop(); a.getClassName(); //want 'Poop' I'm making that will be implemented into other classes, and I'd like to build a SQL query that uses the class name (pluralized) ...

I have a date picker library written for MooTools that I want to port to Prototype. It's looking to be a long arduous task and I'm wondering if anyone has seen or written guides on the differences between the two. A translation dictionary of sorts, where I can look up a Moo function and see the prototype equivalent, or vise-versa. The...
Hi, I'm changing my background-image css property using Mootools: $(document.body).setStyle('background-image','url(' + pBackground + ')'); And it's its working, but how can a make one fade effect between picture change? Thanks, Pedro ...
How can I instantiate a class by throwing in a variable name? Consider this method inside a class: animate: function(el, build) { console.log(build.effect); var animationClass = new build.effect(el,build); }, Build is an object containing lots of stuff, but most importantly an "effect". This effect is the name o...
I'm working on some effects and things to get a handle on Classes/Implements/Extends. The examples here are for the base classes (MooSlidesFx, MooSlidesFx.Elements) from which to create many effects with a project I'm working on, and two child class (MooSlidesFx.Fade, MooSlidesEffects.Elements.Fade) that actually do something. http://pa...
I currently use the below code to be able to drag an element around inside a div container (this is important, it can't just be dragged around anywhere eon the page). I use mootools to accomplish this, but I am converting everything to use prototype, but I can't figure out how to get this to work with prototype. window.addEvent('do...
If you were to hire a javascript developer would you expect them to know jquery? I just started using stack overflow this week and knew that jquery led the pack, but didn't realize the extent of it until I noticed that MooTools (my favorite) has 59 questions while jquery has over 4000. (of course, a good statistician could attribute jqu...
Hi all. I would like to programmaticaly determine the DPI of a user's display in order to show a web page at a precise number of units (centimeters/inches). I know it a weird request: it's for a visualization research project and it's kind of a control. We currently do it by having the user place a credit card to the screen and match a r...
