The library cattle_ui is a set of mootools classes I wrote, to use the awesome jQueryUI-CSS without jQuery but by using MooTools.

• Version: 0.1
• Date: 2011/01/17

State of Development: Alpha

cattle_ui's API is still subject to change.

At examples/show_off.html you can see the different ways, how you can build something with cattle_ui.

Architecture

The css classes are 100% those from jQuery UI. That's why you are able to use the jQueryUI Themeroller and Themes without any change.

The javascript classes are MooTools classes and follow the following rules:

• part of cattle_ui namespace
• implements
  • revertDomElement()
    • replaces the this.dom_element property with a valid dom element (will be called if no dom_element was given to the constructor)
  • applyBehaviour()
    • applies the behaviour on this.dom_element. Usually this is the place where the dom element becomes an enhanced cattle_ui element.
• extends cattle_ui.BaseElement, which provides
  • initialize(dom_element, options)
    • if dom_element is null, a new dom_element will be created
  • getDomElement() and toElement()
    • Returns dom representation of the cattle-ui Element
  • the array property required_options, which will be validated by cattle_ui.BaseElement.assertRequiredOptions().
• input elements usually provide:
  • getValue(): value
  • setValue(value)
