I've had a desire to improve upon my Illustrator skills lately or better yet develop some because quite frankly, anything above straight drawing and making basic pattern brushes is beyond me. I believe the best way to improve and/or build a skill like this is to do tutorials. While searching for fun tutorials, I came across these and thought I'd share.

I’ve made minor changes so that this now works for version 1.3 of mootools.
I’ll be using Mootools.1.11 for these examples. You can download your own version here. These examples assume that you have a good understanding of xhtml, css and javascript.

Stroke path is used to add a brush stroke to a path. I'm not sure many people know about this technique. I think of all the photoshop tutorials I've ever done, I've only seen it used twice. I think the people that do know about it don't think to talk about it because its so basic. It's almost like doing a tutorial on the different marquees. But stroke path can have a huge effect on the final outcome of your work.

Level: Intermediate; Requires basic understanding and familiarity with the pen, add anchor point, delete anchor point, convert point, path selection and direct path selection tools.
Since we'll be using the magic wand tool for this tutorial, the technique shown here is best used in situations where the section of the image you want to cut out is not on top of a super intricate background.

Before I even had a design ready for this site, I knew that I'd be using a strict doctype. I also knew I'd run into small validation errors on links that need to open in a new window because target="_blank" or target="new" doesn't validate with a strict doctype. To fix this problem, I've written a tiny bit of code so that I can have my cake and eat it too.
There are two versions of this script, one for mootools and one for jQuery. If you don't use either one of these libraries then I think this short explanation is enough for you to rewrite one using the library of your choice or from scratch.
