mooSlide Revamp for MooTools 1.2

mooSlide is a customizable MooTools-based slider that pops into the page whenever and wherever you'd like. Potentially very useful -- just make sure you aren't covering a bunch of content up (like the demo).

Spam-Proof Email Links

MooScroll

MooScroll is an awesome class that allows you to create and style your own scrollbars. These scollbars can be used within any element on the page.
