While on the subject of Object-Oriented Javascript tools and taking a look at jQuery in the previous post Not Too Impressed With jQuery I also looked into MooTools.
MooTools seems to be a lot more useful than jQuery, now I do realize that I did not go too deep into researching either one yet and that they might not have been created to perform similar functions but just from browsing around their websites and looking at demos and reading through some of the documentation, MooTools by far do a better job explaining what it is they’re there for.
The demo section on MooTools has excellent examples of things that can be done with it, jQuery’s demo page has some examples too but half of them don’t even work. The website’s CSS is broken, for IE7 anyway. Yes, I know it is not cool to use IE and I am suppose to use FireFox, and I try but sometimes I just forget and go to my old habits of using IE.
Having said this, I do realize that jQuery is a good tool if I learn how to use it and as Henrik Joreteg said in his comment on the previous jQuery post:
There’s a reason so many major web companies use it. Tons of plug-ins that add the funk. (Not Impressed With jQuery)
But just from my personal opinion and from the “first impression” I will be taking a look at MooTools before I will try jQuery.

If you’ve been around the web for any amount of time you’ve probably heard of jQuery. I have also heard of it but never actually looked into it to what it is and what it does. Well…today is the day when I finally decided to check it out.
I went to jQuery.com and looked around, read some of the documentation and did some of the tutorials. Now I only gave it about a couple of hours but I have to admit I did not find it too much useful except for the show/hide text feature. Please, if you are familiar with jQuery and have worked with it and find it useful, please share with us. Tell us how you used it and what you can do with it.
Right now, we’ll take a look at the show/hide text function.

This is the article summary.

You can find the tutorial for this here:

I don’t know….I am not too impressed with jQuery so far.

Thanks to the folowing websites that I got some of the CSS code from:

HTML is the basic structure, the bones of the World Wide Web. It is probably the first scripting language that we as web designers and developers have learned. Like everything else on the Web, it too is evolving. A group called Web Hypertext Application Technology Working Group (WHATWG) has developed this idea in 1994, originally called Web Applications 1.0, to update the current HTML. HTML 5 is still in the draft development stage and will be the fifth major revision of the “core language of the World Wide Web”, Wikipedia says.
