By now there are many javascript frameworks available that make programming easy and encapsulate new and cool functionalities. Surely every framework has its advantages and disadvantages but in my opinion you can't switch between all of them - you have to deceide in favour of one. In my case I have chosen Mootools, as you may have already seen here... A friend of mine and also a co-worker, Grundi, has created a site that answers to the beautiful name of "eSteak" that unites the different scripts for Mootools on a central place, with rating, Mootools dependency listing and so on. The whole thing is user generated content, so its up to all the Mootools developers and even to you to upload scripts and support it! Because the problem with Mootools is that there are really cool scripts out there, but you first have to find them. I hope that eSteak will be filled with a lot of scripts and that it will develop to the central place for Mootools friends and enthusiasts.

Update (somewhen in 2013): unfortunately eSteak was taken to the grave in 2010 - check this blog post for more information: http://blog.aplusmedia.de/2010/10/19/esteak-net-end-of-life-announcement/

After dealing with Windows Vista some time ago there was this idea about creating an image gallery for the web that looks like the tab view in vista using the aero user interface. First you could think about creating this with flash but it's also possible with javascript and the mootools framework. It took a long time until it worked properly for putting it into the web, mainly because there was rarely time working on it.

I created an extra page for the script that answers to the name of "ImageFlip" because I'll continue working on it. If you have any questions, ask me here or write an email as specified on the page:

to the ImageFlip minpage....
