Ajaxian just made a great post about the new extension library of MooTools. MooTools is a compact, modular, Object-Oriented JavaScript framework designed for the intermediate to advanced JavaScript developer. It is, indeed, very compact and useful for any designer, who wants to enhance his sites, make them more interactive and preserve the loading time. We have used MooTools numerous times in our designs, and it has never failed us. Now MooTools came up with new effects.
Moo.rd is an extension library to MooTools that brings you more effects, and helpers for tables, lists, and lightboxes.
You can see examples of the new extensions including:
The new Custom.Alert and Custom.Confirm classes are modal, fixed, and can be draggable, like the standards. But they are “Custom”, so we can give them our personal style, choose an overlay (made by the new Overlay Utility Class) with a custom light, make them appears/disappears with a fade transition and many more.
I want to have the Apple style plus the Windows Style plus my personal style in the page: mission impossible? custom Alerts and custom Confirms, go, make it possible!
The SmoothScrolling class is now for “all smooth needs”. Extending Fx.Scroll, it take advantage of its options, like wheelStops. In addiction, we can choose which anchors must be affected and the Fx parameters of the “effects”.
