How to use MooTools in Joomla

A simple way to use MooTools in Joomla is to add a line to your template file:

<?php jhtml::_ (' Behavior.mootools '); After that, you'll be quoting MooTools's related resources.

This is an example of a mootools Ajax:

<?php
JHTML::_('behavior.mootools');
global $Itemid;
?>

<script>
function showIt( resp )
{
alert( 'the response was' + resp );
}

function clicked()
{
var postStr = 'passed_val=foo';
var url = "http://my_joomla_site.com/index.php?option=com_whatever&view=someview&Itemid=<?php echo $Itemid; ?>&format=raw";

var theAjax = new Ajax(url, {
method: 'post',
postBody: postStr
});

theAjax.addEvent('onSuccess', function(resp) {
showIt( resp );
});
theAjax.request();
</script>

<input type="button" onclick="javascript:clicked();" value="Press me!" />
