Yo Matt (and all you others):

You should check out the new iframe and Swiff classes in Mootools. Iframe tunneling and manipulation rocks and the Swiff class makes JS to flash translation a snap!

I looked at jQuery and it appears that Moo has all the same selectors except Moo compounds them into one method while jQuery singles them out like this:

Mootools ‘.inject’ has 4 options myElement.inject(el[, where]); you would put top, bottom, after, before in the ‘where’ place and that same method would do all 4.

with jQuery you have to memorize a bunch of individual methods like this:

$(“p”).insertAfter(“#foo”);

$(“p”).insertBefore(“#foo”);

$(“span”).appendTo(“#foo”);

$(“p”).prepend(“Hello ”)

Why is it more clear to have 40 million little selectors separated and callable through a slew of different method arrangements when you could use simple text strings to indicate all of them in the same format and method. That seems counter intuitive and quite long-handed in my view.
