I am a newbie to jquery/mootools. I have found a few scripts that I would like to incorporate into my site, but I have no idea how to do it. I've become frustrated from searching online for a week trying to figure it out...
I am looking to add a navigation element to my homepage directly underneath my homepage slider.
Check out these two websites, these are good examples what I need:
http://alterimaging.com/ (the hover/slider buttons with Advertising, Web Dev, Int Marketing)
http://plusthree.com/ (the vertical tabs with Strategy, Design and Technology)
I needed this like yesterday. Please help!
Here is a mootools plugin that I would like to incorporate:

I need help from start to finish on how to implement this into my site and make this work.

Paulette,
the mootools plugin you point to seems to be written for Joomla, not WordPress.
You need to go to wordpress.org and search the plugin section for mootools;
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/search.php?q=mootools&sort=
This one looks like a good candidate;
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/mootools/
That will add the mootools *Framework* to your site.
*Then* you'll need your theme to be ready to display the tabs, *then* you'll need a moo-tools plugin / coding which will add configure and display the tabbed area.
Because you've given no website address it's difficult to know how ready your theme is.
So, there's quite a bit of work there from start to finish.
Can I suggest that you increase the prize-money for this question. It's likely then you'll have more experts coming forward to walk you through the entire process.
best,
