Mootools Tab: A simple yet powerful mootools slideshow plugin

Mootools Tab is a complete rewrite of an old script I wrote for mootools 1.11. I dropped all extra functionality such as cookie reminder and automatic slide. It currently has 5 customizable plugins that can produce awesome effects including, MooStack, the barack slideshow or jQuery nivoslider.



How to use
It is quite simple to use. what you need first is

HTML:

<div id="slide">  <div class="ctab"><img src="images/slide1.jpg" width="400" height="300" /></div>      <div class="ctab hidden"><img src="images/slide2.jpg" width="400" height="300" /></div>      <div class="ctab hidden"><img src="images/slide3.jpg" width="400" height="300" /></div>      <div class="ctab hidden"><img src="images/slide4.jpg" width="400" height="300" /></div>    </div>    //the tabs   <div class="tabs"><a href="#0">1</a><a href="#1">2</a><a href="#2">3</a><a href="#3">4</a></div>
