Moobile is a mobile web application framework built on MooTools. It focuses on building mobile apps that behave as close as possible to their native counterparts, either on a mobile browser or on a webview wrapper such as Phonegap.Moobile is also meant to be extended. I believe one of the strengths of a mobile web app is the ease of creating something entirely different. Moobile helps in this area by providing a structure as well as controls, view and controllers that can be easily extended to suit your needs.Moobile relies on external stylesheets for presentation and animations which makes it easy to customize. Rules that should not be changed are marked with an /* Important */ comment. ...

It may have any combination of interactive elements, some of which interact with each other (for example, a form validation controller might interact with an ajax controller to prevent it sending ...
