Getting Jiggy with JavaScript

Code, Web No Comments »

I’ve recently accepted a position at NextStat and many of the projects I’m working on are ideal candidates for JavaScript flashiness. I played around with Scriptaculous and Prototype but for me the holy grail of JS frameworks is Moooooooootools.

I’ve used a lot of sliders in my code recently and it’s brain-dead simple:

  1. var lislider; window.onload = function() {  lislider = new Fx.Slide(‘newlineitem’); lislider.hide(); }

And then whenever I want to toggle the slider I use:

  1. lislider.toggle();

What could be easier?  If you want to get started with a VERY powerful, yet lightweight JavaScript framework, give MooTools a try.

I’ve read a lot of good things about WordPress so I decided to break up with Blogger. I’m not smart enough to import my old Blogger posts so if you really want to read them you can go here. For now enjoy the new (and improved?) Gale Force Blog!
