You wrote about I18n and I asked myself: Do you use a plugin like Globalize for it? At the moment I'm using dojo with Rails, is Mootools small in size, I never got dojo below 28kb....

I admit, I shamelessly downloaded the mootools.js from your site. When I download it from mootools directly, no dice. Thanks a lot! I got this working thanks to your help!

If your experience is different let us know. Thanks. Navjeet,

I am trying to use mootools to create Fx.Slide but if the I have javascript_include_tag :defaults in the head section, it does not work (canot instantiate Fx.Slide object) but once I take it out it works but then I loose all Rails javascript helpers. Robert,

I grabbed everything in the mootools download. I will definitely check out the moofx script and get things going. Thank you again. Daniel,

Check Element and Window.DomReady. Dependencies should be resolved automatically Effects should be the same. moofx also brings accordion with it by default. There's even a description how to use it with prototype: http://moofx.mad4milk.net/#prototype Hey,

Effects should be the same. moofx also brings accordion with it by default. There’s even a description how to use it with prototype:

I also selected the accordion plugin for the menu. I tried your code with my copy of MooTools that I downloaded from mootools.net and it didn't seem to like it. Perhaps I am doing something incorrectly? I will grab a copy of moo.fx from the site you posted and try with that. Do you know if the effects included with the download from mootools.net are the same as the effects from moofx.madmilk.net? Thank you for the clarification and pointing me in the right direction. I'll definitely take a look at the libraries you linked to - can't beat 3KB! Daniel,

window.onload = function() {
var titles = document.getElementsByClassName(‘box_title’);
var expanders = document.getElementsByClassName(‘expand’);
// Create the accordion
var myEffect = new Fx.Accordion(titles, expanders, {show: 0});
}

Why do you do that, when using moo?

accordion = {
init : function() {
var titles = $$(‘box_title’);
var expanders = $$(‘expand’);
var boo = new Fx.Accordion(titles, expanders, { show : 0});
}
};

window.addevent(‘domready’, accordion.init());

(I guess wordpress is killing the indention)

You might want to have a look at the mootools api.

oh and take a look at ujs4rails

We wrote a MootoolsHelper that acted similarly to PrototypeHelper, so that you could use methods like link_to_remote and other Ajax methods, and it was mainly just a matter of changing syntax. However, in the end we weren't able to get the last 10% working correctly and eventually moved back to Prototype.
