mootools

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 into the placeholder like this: $('placeHolder').setHTML(jsVar); This works in Firefox, Opera, and even Safari and the resulting markup looks like this: <div id="placeHolder"> <strong>I was injected</strong> <script type="text/javascript"> alert("I was injected too!"); </script> </div> However, on IE 8 I get the following: <div id="placeHolder"> <strong>I was injected</strong>

I am trying to convince those who set standards at my current organization that we should use jQuery rather than Prototype and/or YUI. What are some convincing advantages I can use to convince them? Jahangir The 3 main advantages of jQuery are: its light weight when compared to other javascript frameworks it has a wide range of plugins available for various specific needs it is easier for a designer to learn jQuery as it uses familiar CSS syntax. jQuery is Javascript for Designers I would say my top reasons for using JQuery are: Large development community and many plugins. It's on Microsoft's

Is there a great uploader script that uses jQuery, like uploadify, but with a fallback option for when flash is not available? I tried FancyUpload , which has this and uses an invisible IFRAME to do its stuff. The problem is, it's built on top of Mootools (conflicts everywhere because I can't change my whole codebase to use jQuery instead of $ if I use jQuery.noConflict(), and I really don't think it's a good idea to mix js libraries like that). http://www.plupload.com/ falls back from HTML5 to Flash, Gears, Silverlight and iFrame. It's developed for TinyMCE, so it's extensively tested and

I manage a group of programmers. I do value my employees opinion but lately we've been divided as to which framework to use on web projects. I personally favor MooTools , but some of my team seems to want to migrate to jQuery because it is more widely adopted. That by itself is not enough for me to allow a migration. I have used both jQuery and MooTools . This particular essay tends to reflect how I feel about both frameworks. jQuery is great for DOM Manipulation, but seem to be limited to helping you do that. Feature wise, both jQuery and MooTools allow for easy DOM Selection and Manipulation

How do I make elements that are loaded via ajax, adopt the events associated with the same class on mootools 1.11? As far as I know, in jQquery, if your ajax response consists of something like <div class='button'> , if there is an event bind using live to $('.button') , those events would automatically bind. Is that possible with MooTools 1.11? Perhaps something like this might do what you're looking for? Though I'm not sure if it'll work with 1.11. Element.implement({ addLiveEvent: function(event, selector, fn){ this.addEvent(event, function(e){ var t = $(e.target); if (!t.match(selector))

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, and I'm really thrilled, first I thought I was server related but experimenting a little bit more I've seend that doing the very same JSON request from jQuery docs on Mootools doesn't work! This works jQuery: $.getJSON("http://api.flickr.com/services/feeds/photos

I've been trying to track this one for literally a month now without any success. I have this piece of code on an car advertising website which basically allows thumbnails to rotate in search results given that a car has multiple pictures. You can see it in action at the following: http://www.abcavendre.com/4506691919/ It is built on the mootools 1.2 framework. The problem is that this script, under Firefox 3, consumes a rather large amount of memory overtime when a page is full of those rotating pictures, such as this inventory page: http://www.abcavendre.com/Vitrine/Israel_Huttman/ You can
