Adding the MooTools framework


In this recipe, we will set up the MooTools framework for use in our example page.

The following is a quick overview of the framework from the MooTools website (http://mootools.net/):

MooTools is a compact, modular, Object-Oriented JavaScript framework designed for the intermediate to advanced JavaScript developer. It allows you to write powerful, flexible, and cross-browser code with its elegant, well documented, and coherent API.

MooTools is essentially another alternative to YUI or jQuery. You may want to install this framework if you wish to make use of some third party code based on MooTools, which is either not possible or impractical to port to native JavaScript. You can also rewrite it using Moodle's preferred JavaScript framework, YUI.

We will create a simple MooTools script which will display a JavaScript alert when the domready event is fired.

Getting ready

We begin by downloading the latest version of the MooTools framework. Visit the MooTools homepage...
