This is one very powerful yet simple Snippet. It is the first thing I implement on all projects, you can find it in the MooTools FileManager as well as on this website. With this handy Element extension for MooTools you can fade an element in or out once the user enters or leaves another Element. Lets quickly jump to the Demo to see it in action:

To celebrate the redesign of this portfolio I'm going to release several simple snippets. One of them is ScrollLoader. I've been using this functionality for years on various websites and it is a nice, handy addition. A lot of websites are dynamically loading additional content via a "More" button and I'm sure you all have read the latest Nettuts+ article by the womanizing David Walsh. ScrollLoader on the other hand loads additional content when you reach the bottom of a page via scrolling, without any additional button clicking required.

I am not the guy who writes articles every other day, but fear not: I am planning to post further interesting Blogposts in the near future. For now, here is probably the biggest Script I've released as open-source: A MooTools based File-Manager for the web that allows you to (pre)view, upload and modify files and folders via the browser.

Over the past few weeks I found out again that it is hard to regularly publish and to work on great scripts that I can release here every now and then, but the idea of a Round-Up-Post about MooTools has been in my head ever since I started working on this Portfolio. You will find cool scripts, interesting blog posts, information about the MooTools development in general and my opinion on all those things. Tell me if you enjoy this so I will make a write-up every one to three weeks, depending on what is going on with MooTools.

More than two years ago I implemented something unique and I thought it would take over the world someday. Well, it seems like I was wrong. It may just be that I had no place before to release this awesome little snippet. There also is a reason why it took me so long to release it: See, it is about Pagination and I did not want to show off a nice feature without actually using it myself. Coming next after the MooTools Tree-Component and the Pseudoselectors article: The awesome Pagination.
