Citation : Here's a more complex example from jQuery:

Code PHP :

<?php 

$(document).ready(function() {

    $("#orderedlist li:last").hover(function() {

        $(this).addClass("green");

    },

    function() {

        $(this).removeClass("green");

    });

}); 

and in MooTools:

Code PHP :

<?php 

window.addEvent('domready',function() {

    $$('#orderedlist li:last').addEvents({

        mouseenter: function() {

            this.addClass('green');

        },

        mouseleave: function() {

            this.removeClass('green');

        }

    });

}); 

<?php 

$(document).ready(function() {

    $("#orderedlist li:last")

        .mouseover(function() {

            $(this).addClass("green");

        })

        .mouseout(function(){

            $(this).removeClass("green");

        });

}); 

Citation :If you're a jQuery developer and see anything that I have misrepresented here, please contact me and help me rectify the issue. My objective here is to be helpful and accurate to people - not to sell one framework over another.

Citation :This is why I say that both frameworks are excellent choices. My effort here has been to highlight the differences in philosophies between the two codebases and highlight their advantages and disadvantages. I doubt I've been successful in keeping my preference for MooTools completely in check, but hopefully this has been helpful. Regardless of which framework you choose to work with, you now know a lot more about both, hopefully. If you have the luxury of time, I strongly recommend implementing a site with each. Then write your own review of them both and maybe your perspective will highlight some things I missed.
