Understanding the library

As mentioned before the reason we want to use a library is to take care of the most basic browser differences and concentrate on making the real code. The library has a lot of methods built in that we can reuse at any time. So when we need to make a script, effect or a menu that's special for one site we just include the library (with the functions you need) and start coding.

In this tutorial we'll make a simple but cute dragable menu script where we can drag the "head" of the menu and the rest slides after it. It's important that you understand the basics about how the library works to be able to follow this tutorial, so if you haven't please read the DHTML Lib tutorial.

Then let's start coding!
