It’s the start of Keetology Week! What does this mean? Another edition of Up the Moo Herd of course!

While this was originally meant to be an article about DOM tips and tricks, the recent slew of people who have commented on how “long” my articles got to me, so I’m turning it into a shorter post about Elements and the tricks behind common methods. I was supposed to include sections on native events and “subclassing” the Element native, but I don’t want people getting turned off due to the length of the article. Maybe I should just write a book..

Speaking of books, have you gotten yourself a copy of MooTools 1.2 Beginner’s Guide? If not, then you better get yourself one! It’s written by Jacob Gube together with my good friend Garrick Cheung. It’s packed with a lot of useful stuff and I recommend it to everyone who wants to learn (or relearn) the basics of MooTools.

I’d also like to thank Matti Schneider-Ghibaudo, who not only reads my blog but has also helped in making Keetology better with his bug reports.

As always, the title of the post is taken from a song and this time it’s track 9 from the first studio album of the ever fantastic The Academy Is…

And with that, let’s get to know the elements of MooTools.
