Released: MooTools 1.2.3
I’m excited to tell you that MooTools 1.2.3 has been released today! It’s mainly bug fixes and updates. One major change is compatibility with other frameworks.

Search Stylesheet Selectors with MooTools
You should already know that MooTools has Fx.Morph, that allows you to animate multiple css properties on an element and you can also pass it a selector string so you don’t have to type out all of the properties. Well, you can also pull these properties by using an undocumented method in MooTools, as I [...]
MooTools TextOverlay Class
