I for one request that MooTools implements the "wrapper" idea (in version 2.0) rather than extending each element. I have noticed the speed difference with MooTools JavaScript between Firefox (which I use) and IE (which many users use). When these differences become noticeable, I often rework the JavaScript to not extend the elements or events in question using the MooTools extensions.
Obviously we shouldn't have to "work around" the JavaScript framework integrated, it should provide ease of use in every situation. -Joel On Apr 6, 11:15 am, Aaron Newton <[email protected]> wrote: > The article in question is a really good one and there are a lot of points > made in it that hold water.
