Anyone using MooTools? how did you get it to work?

Post by BaritoneJP »

I'm trying to use a MooTools based drop down navigation at the top of each topic. (I'm testing to see if I can use Flare to build a web site and not going to display the TOC) This uses ul and li items to make the list.

I put the script links in the master page and @import the css in the main flare stylesheet. All of this works outside of Flare but when you build the project it doesn't work. (I simply copied the master page and changed the extension to .htm and opened with my browser ... and it works ... but not when building from flare)

My question to anyone using any java / jquery / mootools or to any propeller head, is Flare using something (jquery maybe) that conflicts with the MooTools core js ?


Thank you for your help.

I don't know what MooTools is, but Flare does use jQuery - so you don't need to add your own jQuery link in the master page.
If you check your output, you'll see that Flare adds a jQuery link in the head section of topics (for HTML5 and WebHelp) and also the main help file Default.htm (for HTML5).

Also, if you copy/paste HTML code into Flare, bear in mind that Flare is XHTML rather than HTML, so tags need to be properly closed.

MooTools is just another JavaScript framework and I'm closing

Code: Select all

<script>
with

Code: Select all

</script>
if that is what you are talking about.

I think I'm just going to search for another that uses jquery now that I know that Flare includes that in the html5 targets.

Thank you for your help.
