MooTools is a fantastic object oriented JavaScript framework; It allows you to write powerful, flexible, and cross-browser code with its elegant, well documented, and coherent API. Most of us who have ever used MooTools will testify that it is as good as jQuery if not better. But if you compare the popularity levels between the two frameworks, jQuery is far ahead of MooTools.

(elm.hasClass('odd') ? elm.removeClass('odd') : elm.removeClass('even'));
});
$$('tr.dynRow').each(function(elm) {
elm.addClass(count++ % 2 == 0 ? 'odd' : 'even');
});
};
};
