Comments on: Mootools beats jQuery and Ext for AIR http://coderseye.com/2007/mootools-beats-jquery-and-ext-for-air.html Stuff that catches a Passionate Programmer's Eye Tue, 16 Mar 2010 15:30:24 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.1 hourly 1 By: Jonah Dempcy http://coderseye.com/2007/mootools-beats-jquery-and-ext-for-air.html/comment-page-1#comment-58208 Jonah Dempcy Thu, 24 Apr 2008 00:32:30 +0000 http://coderseye.com/2007/mootools-beats-jquery-and-ext-for-air.html#comment-58208 Haven't experimented with AIR yet but I am curious to try it out. As for libraries, I have 1 year production experience using Prototype/Scriptaculous and while it made some things easier, also had a fair amount of cumbersome boilerplate code, annoying quirks and peculiarities with the OO inheritance. I've heard that much of this has been fixed in newer versions (I was using 1.5) but this experience led me to investigate alternative solutions, eventually choosing MooTools and using that for a number of projects. It's great to hear that MooTools works out-of-the-box with AIR. It's a very clean, well-thought-out library so I can't say that surprises me. I can't speak for Ext or the others as I don't have much experience with them. I've used a bit of jQuery and it has a very succinct syntax that I like, but in terms of reading the actual source code, MooTools is the only library where I have truly delved into the implementation details and actually been able to get a good grasp of what's going on.

Even when i followed the security settings it had a problem because the autocomplete used an iframe (which was already inside one for security). With the switch to mootools it's working great.
