I have used the Script.aculo.us library before, but I thought I would try out Mootools as it has a really nice object orientated design.

Now I don’t know if its just me, but I can’t make any sense of the documentation to the extent that I can only get things to work by following the examples which is fine until I can’t fine an example for what I need.

Where the documentations messes me up is that when I create an object I want to know its parameters and its methods. Now it does tell you all of this, but I really can’t see it clearly. If you are used to the Java or Ruby or any other programming documentation you will be very confused.

Anyway, hopefully I will figure it out eventually, maybe I am just a douche.

A little searching turned up a few different implementations an I picked Pj Hyett’s as he was the person to make the wayfaring.com one.

The reason I am blogging about it is that a few people commented on the PJ Hyett blog that they could not get it working so I am posting a zip file of a working example here.
