First, Fabio, no one needs to name $ to document.id to upgrade UNLESS they have another script that's using $ (like jQuery). That's not the case here. Dan (I think that's your name, forgive me if not), your site is running on a *very* old version of MooTools. You'll need to upgrade. Upgrading is not a painless process as the API for the framework has changed. I *think* you're running a 1.0 version of MooTools; I can't tell, because back then we didn't put the version number in the download. You'll need to download MooTools 1.2 and replace your copy of MooTools with it. You'll then need to go through your code and rewrite the portions of it that need to change.
To help with this, you can use this compatibility layer: http://gist.github.com/128335 If you include this after mootools 1.2 but before your code, it will post console warnings to you in firebug in all the places you're using deprecated methods. You should NOT leave this script in place in production. It's only there to help you upgrade. Good luck. 2009/9/9 Fábio M.
