[Phpwm] [OT]event trigger

Thu Mar 15 08:11:09 GMT 2007

Hey Guys,

I would suggest using something like mootools, I use this framework for lots
of stuff and its well worth a look. It helps a lot with things like events
and is very lightweight ( plus using mod_deflate makes it even smaller! ),
it also has a very cool build selection on the download page so you can
select only the parts you really want.

I found trying to do reliable events cross-browser sucks and using something
like mootools makes life much easier!

Agreed, which in most cases, as I just said in a previous email, it is. In
fact looking through it that little script is just about the only bit now
which is inline. I might see if I can shove that to the top later, not sure
in its current form if its going to work outside the form tags without
modification, dunno, will play and see.

Hehe - I've got a definite feeling that when I say I'm writing a CMS that
people might have a few prejudged misconceptions as to exactly what its
going to be :-)
