How to implement MooTools accordion

It took me awhile to figure it out so I thought I would give others a step by step tutorial:

1. Navigate to the Accordion page on MooTool's website
http://demos.mootools.net/Accordion

2. On the top right are 3 links: js code | html code | css code

You will need to click on all of those and copy and paste the code from each one into a basic html file.

3. You will also need to download and install all the necessary components and javascript files. Go to the downloads page, http://mootools.net/download, check all the checkboxes, and hit 'download'. I say select them all because you might need those other components later in the future.

4. Copy the downloaded file to your server or directory where you .html file is at.

5. In your .html file right before the last head tag, copy and paste the provided js code that you downloaded earlier.

6. Of course, the html code you downloaded earlier needs to go into the tag of your .html file.

7. Also, you need to add the CSS, which you can do in an external file called styles.css

8. That's it - the test Accordion sample on MooTool's site should work once you have uploaded the .html file and the MooTools js folder to your server.

If you have trouble getting this set up, let me know and I will try to help you.

Impulse implements MooTools Accordion

Trying to learn some new stuff today and stay on top of any new technologies. I was scanning the source of a site I saw on CSSRemix the other day and noticed they had an include for 'mootools-1.v1.11.js'. The site had some cool smooth scrolling feature so I wanted to find out how they did it.

So, I looked up 'mootools' and found some very nice interface tools that you can use to step up your websites with.

One of the mootools modules was the Accordion so I thought I would try it - I implemented it on my portfolio page on my website - view my mootools accordion client portfolio.

XRAY - web standards css tool

My buddy Richard over at Akiramedia.com sent me a link to http://westciv.com/xray/

There is a new free tool called XRAY that allows you to view the CSS for any page without having to droll through lengthy html and css pages.

Simpley download the tool, add it to your bookmarks, and then select any element on a web page and a little screen pops up with the css info relating to that element such as width, height, positioning, colors, etc.

Pretty cool huh? Try it out - XRAY

What is Skype?

We recently moved to Leland NC and our cell phones don't work inside our new home. Sometimes they work on a good day if we stand in our drive way and hold our tongue just right and stand on one foot and face West and there is no wind.

Our contract with Sprint won't be up until Feb so we are bummed about speaking to relatives and such from our house.

However, my brother in law found out about Skype and told us about it. We immediately set it up and we were video chatting within minutes.

Skype allows you to talk for free over the internet as long as both parties are using Skype. Since we both have laptops with built in cams, my wife and I were video chatting with her brother in Raleigh in no time. Besides some minor internet chatter, the audio and video were great even though he's on an HP and I was on a Mac Book Pro.
