Creating Cool Effects using Javascript

site has changed since this vid was uploaded in '07

[IanKraigher]

guy's if you wanna learn javascript , html and css remember (videos are there to help you) but they aren't ment to make things easier if you just copy and paste everything you wont learn anything (okey yes you will learn a little bit) but a lot less than if you went through it on your own 1 or twice, with just a little of help from video to show you where you got stuck.

[Daz902]

Was hoping this was a tutorial on the effect, not on downloading and installing a lib. Thanks just the same though.

[Robowolf]

When i learned javascript and after that jquery i didn't had video tutorials....only books and ebooks (they were very very rare at the time, for javascript off course), i can say i learned more than a video could teach...as for jquery, test test test test. I don't think mootools is a cool js library, no offence but it is pretty bloated in comparison to jquery. For simple things like this it's a little overkill, 89kb???? WOW...jquery only 29 (minified versions of both compared)

[socialapocalypse]

can you post the code please, the link doesn't work.

[avoidsnnnet]

Any onecan explain a video in how javascript goes TO CODE THANKS

[Robowolf]

@avoidsnnnet details in what you do not understand, i know it's a late replay :P but hey maybe i can help.

[WISDOMandGRACE]

Melvin,

I followed your instructions to the letter and I cannot get the Show/Hide Box to work. Any suggestions. I did download from mootools.

[MrHossen1223]

good video 

[williamfmc]

Nice video, worked for me!

Just one question. What if i want to have 5 'boxes' to slide in my page, instead of just one? Do i need to declare 5 vars?

Im kind of new to this and im trying to figure out.. Thanks!

[TheEvaldas12]

can you make more java script tutorials with effects similiar to this?

[maciekvito]

thanks, this video is still helping people even in the year 2010. HAA

[kareempishdadi]

[kareempishdadi]

... i had to install Dreadwaver for trial version

[ipodtouch123456]

@kareempishdadi HAHA DREAD WEAVER !!! IT'S DREAMWEAVER....

[iankaufman80]

link is broken...

[DugongRevenge]

u cant play a video on youtube, what am is suppose to do now,,,, please help

[CamiloSanchez1979]

the mootools is a framework?

[gwomack00]

whats an "id"?

[JohannesEH]

Duh! An Intelligent Design, ofcourse... :P

[HaemessB]

it is like a name and is used to call the object it is associated with.

[revolutionize017]

id is a selector.. learn css first to understand those and proceed to javascript.

[lordofwar9000]

no offence but ur voice sounds kinda funny,lol.

[guerrald]

Haha, like Michael Cera!

[lascoba]

Its not working on linux ubuntu!!!!!!!!!

shit!

[Venelines]

I can't download the 1.11 version. I only found the 1.2.1 release. And it didn't have the same contents, obviously. Does anyone know where I can find the 1.11 version to download?

[spacialbubble]

Currently using mootools at the moment.. taken the simply drag and drop and created a complete drag n drop content management facility.. thanks mootools :)) Nice video

[latavish]

excellent work!!

[ne3dsalami]

a 6 and half min video to make a box move slightly? WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[kurizzos]

That's the beauty of programming.

You have to be a patient programmer to be appreciative.

The tutorial was decently fluid, though.

[relliksd]

Lol don't become programmer of any kind if you don't have much patience =]

[sweetz410]

Oh, your not patient huh..

[XavierMaestas]

does  it cost money and have any viruses?

[MrPignati]

it's free and it's a .js-file. if you aren't sure, take a virus scanner... :)

[CALVINBARBER]

I learned something new yea!!!!!!!!!!

[macgrooty]

Wow. Thanks! I've been struggling with mootools for days and days. Worked great!

[juniorHTMLwriter]

It worked, thank you so much! I had tried to follow along with you, but when I opened it up in the browser, nothing. I looked again at the video, correcting my mistakes, and walaa, It worked! Thank you again so much.

[sparrowave]

Didn't work for me. Spent time mulling over the details too. Gerr.

[jessehypno]

hey make sure it is a javascript file, even though it has the extension .js some computers will class them as .txt files still, hope it helps :D

[happybois]

Im creating a similar API, im still adding features.. as for documentation.. ha

[brambill]

thanks

[calstate]

still couldn't get it to work. followed steps 1,2, 3. I wonder if it has something to do with dreamweaver. I tried to use Swfir which uses javascript and that didn't work either. I made sure the javascript file was in the same directory. I can't figure out what the problem is.

[calstate]

didn't work for me dude. don't know what I'm doing wrong. I double checked my code over and over. When I click on the show/hide link I get nothing.

[pbj746]

check that

1.your browser has javascript enabled.

2.that you had every checkbox selected on the download page.

3.that you renamed it to mootools.js

[kdmq]

i have the same problem and i was sure i did all 3 tips what am i doing wrong??

[kdmq]

i did all 3 steps and it did not work no matter what i try is just fails and fails

[EasyPiv0t]

@pbj746 btw how do u make sure ur browser is enabled with java script?

[archange156]

@calstate Same for me. I check everything and my javascript is enabled. I also named the file 'mootools.js'.

[pbj746]

thanks

[FlyingHye]

Really Nice!
