  • MooTools 1.1 Tutorial

    Update: Mootools has since moved on from version 1.1, the version for which this tutorial was written. You can still learn the basics of MooTools by reading this tutorial, but be advised that some of the code examples may be out of date with the current version of MooTools. We will be publishing up to date tutorials in our tutorials section, so check back often.

    MooTools is a JavaScript library that can be used to manipulate parts of your web page, dynamically transmit data without reloading the page, and it also provides numerous effects, transitions, and user interface tools. This tutorial covers some of the basics for working with MooTools version 1.11, although it should also apply to version 1.2 as well. If you don't know JavaScript yet, you'll pick up many of its basic concepts by reading through to the end.

    What exactly is a JavaScript library? JavaScript is a powerful programming language, but it can be difficult to understand and implement. MooTools is a collection of files written with JavaScript and it extends the functionality of the language and also provides shortcuts for performing certain tasks.

    There are many JavaScript libraries available such as Prototype, YUI, and JQuery, but it is important to note that MooTools is not compatible with them. This means that if you include MooTools with another library, chances are that your page isn't going to function in the correct manner. So if you want to use MooTools, you're going to have to use it exclusively.

  • Ultimate IE6 Cheatsheet: How To Fix 25+ Internet Explorer 6 Bugs

    The best strategy for dealing with Internet Explorer 6 is not to support it.

    Stop. Ok, I feel your frustration. You're a web developer and you're ready to tear your hair out because you have to support Internet Explorer 6, but, to put it tactfully, IE6 doesn't support you. You've spent hours on it, but you just can't seem to get your layout right. I can empathize. I can also help.

    This isn't one of those rants about IE6 or a campaign to try to kill it. There are enough of those around the web, but they don't help if you need to support IE6 because it still has a significant enough marketshare that you can't ignore it for business reasons. No, this is the resource you've been hoping for.

    I've scoured the web for resources and also included some of my own fixes for IE6 and now I've put it all together in this cheatsheet/reference manual as a resource for anyone who has to deal with Internet Explorer 6. Where possible, I've done my best to provide the cleanest and valid solutions to each bug instead of ugly hacks. I've also tried to give proper credit for each case, but some of the solutions have been shared so many times that finding the original discover of each fix is difficult. If you see a missing credit or if I missed a bug and fix, please contact me and let me know and I'll update this page.

    This massive IE6 guide took a while to put together, so bookmark it, share it, tweet it, and use it to save yourself and your coworkers hours of screaming at your monitor and banging your head against your desk or other inanimate objects. Don't be fooled, however, this cheatsheet is as much for me as it is for you.
