Mootools: easy DHTML

Mootools v1.1 has just been released. I have no idea how good that is, but I do know I like mootools and the stuff you can use it for.

Mootools is a javascript framework that you can use to easily and cross-browser friendly do stuff like DHTML effects, ajax, cookies, etc.. I'm still looking in to using all but the basic effect functions, but every new feature I find is useful in some way or other.

But it's the mootools based plugin scripts I like most of all. I've already implemented a lightbox into my website, and I'm looking for icons to make a Mac like fisheye menu at the top of pages. Most of these scripts are as easy as include, start and call - done.

I've learned PHP and SQL and CSS enough for basic site design, now it may be time to focus on the client side of the equation...
