MooTools 1.3 beta

MooTools 1.3 beta has been released

MooTools Shorthand Element Creation

creates <div /> 
var div = new Element('div');
creates <div class='myClass' /> 
var div = new Element('div.myClass');
creates <div class='myClass myOtherClass' title='My Title'>Element Inner Text</div> 
var div = new Element('div#myId.myClass.myOtherClass[title=My Title][text=Element Inner Text]');

Example

Creating an element using an object (the 1.2 way): 
new Element('input', {'id': 'someID', 'class': 'someClass1 someClass2', 'disabled': true});
Creating an element using a selector string (the coolest way): 
new Element('input#someID.someClass1.someClass2[disabled=true]');
