David Walsh: The most preferred Javascript Framework
David Walsh, one of my favorite RSS destinations, posted a poll a while ago in order to get a quick look over the preferred javascript framework in use these days.
Well the winner is JQuery, but not in a too wide margin from MooTools at the back, at least not as i thought it would be.
I personally voted for JQuery at that time, but since i switch frameworks depanding on the project nesecities, i think my vote is divided equally by MooTools and JQuery. Dojo was well at the back with only 2 (!!) votes and a close to 0% of vote share, kind of a surprise to me, i was really impressed by Dojo and was considering using it, or at least benchin' it out a little bit.
Moo.rd: lightweight Mootools extestion
Mootools is awesome, but it still lacks some of the features that JQuery has when dealing with effects and some other not-so-important stuff.
Moo.rd is an excellent extension which implements some more features back to mootools. features such as some extra effects (finally, a mootools shake effect!), windows, sliders and more.
recommended, get it here.
Javascript Frameworks: i am changing my mind
well, originally i chose JQuery, which seems too-awesome-to-ignore at the time, but a recent project made me decide to try Mootools once again, well, it's amazing.
MochaUI is an excellent UI library in Mootools, the simplicity is overwhelming and on top of it all the dynamic pseudo selectors as lately mentioned in David Walsh's blog... amazing.
/* grab "checked" elements */
Selectors.Pseudo.checked = function() {
return ('input' == this.get('tag') && ('radio' == this.get('type') || 'checkbox' == this.get('type')) && this.checked);
};
/* grab "selected" option elements */
Selectors.Pseudo.selected = function() {
return ('option' == this.get('tag') && this.selected);
};
/* grab random elements */
/* credit: http://blog.kassens.net/custom-pseudo-selectors */
Selectors.Pseudo.random = function(probability, local) {
return Math.random() < (probability || .5).toFloat();
};
/* grab elements with no value */
Selectors.Pseudo.noValue = function() {
return '' === this.value;
}
/* grab elements with a specific empty attribute */
Selectors.Pseudo.emptyAttribute = function(att) {
return this.get(att) == '';
}
i think i might have some second thoughts about JQuery..
