Conventions

In this book, you will find a number of styles of text that distinguish between different kinds of information. Here are some examples of these styles, and an explanation of their meaning.

Code words in text are shown as follows: "Please do always include a DOCTYPE, and opening HTML, HEAD, TITLE, and META tag for the HTTP-EQUIV and CONTENT".

A block of code is set as follows:

$('my_trigger').addEvent('click',function() { this.set('html','Click Me<br/>'+(++count));
...

When we wish to draw your attention to a particular part of a code block, the relevant lines or items are set in bold:

<div id="my_trigger"
style="width:100px; height:100px;
border:1px solid #BEBEBE;
line-height:50px; text-align:center;">You Found Me!</div> <noscript>JavaScript is disabled.</noscript>

New terms and important words are shown in bold. Words that you see on the screen, in menus or dialog boxes for example, appear in the text like this: "The link labeled GET MOO.FX FOR MOOTOOLS leads us to MooTools".
