Listen for the Delete Key Using MooTools
I saw an interesting ticket hit the MooTools Lighthouse system recently. A user reported that they could not use the following code snippet to listen for the delete key:
var isdel = Event.Keys.delete;
While that generally works, it does not work for the delete key because "delete" is a reserved word. Instead, you must listen for the delete key with this code snippet:
var isdel = Event.Keys['delete'];
Very interesting. As flexible as Moo's language is, you can't get around the reserved words!

![Record Text Selections Using MooTools or jQuery AJAX]()
One technique I'm seeing more and more these days (CNNSI.com, for example) is AJAX recording of selected text. It makes sense -- if you detect users selecting the terms over and over again, you can probably assume your visitors are searching that term on Google...

mootools rules! :)
Thanks for keeping us informed, David!
So did you let them know about your solution? :D
Or did they already take care of that in the docs?
(not to sound like a jack*ss, of course, just curious)
