Description

Mootools Plugin

This plugin provides integration with Mootools(which is a compact javascript framework). When installing the plugin, it installs the latest Mootools distribution in your application, and registers itself to be used with the adaptive AJAX tags. It also contains a helper tag to easily include additional Mootools javascript.

Basic Usage

Ajax via Mootools

To have the Grails' adaptive AJAX support adapt itself to Mootools (rather than the default of Prototype), add the following line in the head section of every GSP that needs it. (Note: you can not add it only to main.gsp in layouts.,see http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/GRAILS-2766) 
<g:javascript library="mootools"/>

Thereafter the <g:remoteField>, <g:remoteLink>, and <g:formRemote> tags will utilize Mootools for the ajax calls. (See the Grails documentation, or "The Definitive Guide to Grails" chapter 9, etc.)

More Usage

include more Mootools

the Mootools framework support "core" and "more" releases,the <g:javascript library="mootools"/> only include the core release,so if you wanna include more ,you should do like this: 
<moores:more/>
that code will include mootools-1.2-more-nc.js(in Develepment) or mootools-1.2-more-yc.js

Calendar

<moores:calendar/>
in the html header,and 
<moo:calendar name="date1"/>
