Animated Effects using Scriptaculous

[chinmay.sahoo]

Scriptaculous can help you with many kinds of tasks: animation, drag-and-drop functionality, editing tools, and autocompleting of text inputs, as well as utilities to help create DOM fragments. In this section, you look at some of the animation effects.

As I’ve already mentioned, Scriptaculous was built on top of another JavaScript library called Prototype. I have included a copy of Scriptaculous 1.8.0 and Prototype 1.6.0 with the code download for this chapter; however, you can check for more recent versions and download your own copy of these files from http://script.aculo.us/.
