Javascript Toolkit

Published: 2007-05-23

In my spare time I’ve been sitting in on the Mootools IRC room and have been in on a bit of conversations here and there. Mootools is a javascript library, just like jQuery, YUI, and a few others.

There are several times where I’m just oblivious to a lot of the discussions, mostly because this group has advanced so far into the development of the project and its a bit hard to catch up for a n00b. My assumptions is that I believe it’s mostly because I’m just not familiar with javascript. I’ve dabbled in a lot of code here and there and restructured js code to work the way i want, but that still doesn’t mean I ”know” Javascript.

Because of this, I’ve decided to build my own library to learn more. This library is in no way an apptempt to compete with other libraries that exist, so please don’t bash on what i’m doing, but I’m happy to entertain constructive feedback. It’s still a work in progress - all I’ve got so far is a set of tools for divElements, ie innerHTML, border, background, etc.

I’ll share progress over time.
