Mootools is a javascript framework that adds more functionality to your website on a easy way. The Mootools core team says:
MooTools is a compact, modular, Object-Oriented JavaScript framework designed for the intermediate to advanced JavaScript developer. It allows you to write powerful, flexible, and cross-browser code with its elegant, well documented, and coherent API.
The script language ‘javascript’ is browser based. This means that the scripts are executed by the program that you’re using for surfing on the internet. This program is called ‘the browser’. Some browsers handles the scripts differently. So you’ve got your script running in your favourite browser but when your friends look at the website some errors occures and the website isn’t shown as it should be. When you write plain, ‘old fashion’ javascript you can have this much trouble. When you use a javascript framework like Mootools this is more easy to debug and avoid this kind of problems.
