Implement MooTools Element.getSiblings()
Update: I've added the "match" option to the getSiblings() method.
While browsing through the open tickets at the MooTools LightHouse, I found this little gem proposed by SixtyMonkey:
Element.implement({
getSiblings: function(match,nocache) {
return this.getParent().getChildren(match,nocache).erase(this);
}
});
The above code grabs all sibling elements (the collection of alike elements minus the "found" one.) Do you think this should be added to the core?
I submitted this to core and it has been accepted. Look forward to seeing this in core!

![Full Width Textareas]()
Working with textarea widths can be painful if you want the textarea to span 100% width. Why painful? Because if the textarea's containing element has padding, your "width:100%" textarea will likely stretch outside of the parent container -- a frustrating prospect to say the least. Luckily...

It is – just not documented
little typo
