What's up with MooTools and Script.aculo.us?
I'm making a site that does the following when a user navigates to a different page.

  1. Page slides out of view
  2. AJAX gets the content of the new page
  3. Page slides back in
So I need a javascript effects framework like MooTools or script.aculo.us. I've heard some good stuff about MooTools, so I download that. (The beta) It gets an error in firefox. So I downloaded the latest stable release. That still gets an error. (So much for "stable")

So then I go to scriptaculous. I download it, and do the basic implementation. The simple slide effect causes firefox to freeze all javascripts on my site. And also, when I write a line thats obviously an error, it stops firefox from showing it as an error in the javascript console.

So whats up with these javascript effect frameworks. Why can't I get anything to do such a simple task? Could anyone help me get these tasks done?
