    grabbing an attribute in mootools: .[name] or .get or .retrieve or .getProperty?

    mootools_logoSomething I ran into just now was returning an anchor's attribute consistently across browsers. So I have an anchor with an address like '/users/delete/5/' which does what you'd think it does. But I ran into an inconsistent return response in (you guessed it) ie6. In all fairness, it might not be IE6's fault, but it speaks more to a problem with mootools. While it is a nearly perfect library/framework, this does bug me.

    I ran into another problem the other day native to ie6 (well ie7 and ie8 too, to be fair) where by I was trying to dynamically change a text input field from type="text" to type="password". Safari, chrome and firefox had no issues. It was a simple as node.type = 'password', or since I was using mootools, node.set('type','password'). Resolved. But wait...
