Many an unsettling hour I have spent on this issue, so here it is for the spiders to archive for future reference; You should not use ASP.NET Panel objects within a Yahoo User Interface (YUI) Panel container. I have not determined the exact cause, but the problems were real stumpers.
The problem can best be […]
I have always felt that the default Wordpress search was enemic and inaccurate at best, so I finally got around to changing the default search, and returning the results in a more “Web 2.0″ fashion.

Jack Slocum is fast approaching deity status with this last project. He has created a YUI extension library for some kick-butt Web 2.0 layouts. The toolkit allows you to create collapsible sections, multiple (even nested) splitter bars, even automatic content tabs when you place two divs on top of each other. This […]
Snow in October in Buffalo is nothing new, and even the 14-24″ that some parts of Buffalo received does not break any records. But the 400,000 homes left without power after this last storm breaks alot of records, and alot of branches.

DavGlass has created an effects library for the YUI libraries to match those of Scriptaculous. The example page can be found here, the JS source code is here.
I applied this library to an existing application to show/hide the online Help with a Blind Up/Blind Down effect:
function toggleHelp(){
var d = YAHOO.util.Dom.get(’divHelp’);
if(d.style.display == ‘none’){
YAHOO.widget.Effects.BlindDown(d,{duration:1});
}else{
YAHOO.widget.Effects.BlindUp(d,{duration:1});
}
}
I have not had a chance to really play with this one, but simple, client side graphics without a plug-in or browser limitations looks too cool to not try.

Jack Slocum has an excellent piece on Javascript memory leaks. This is another reason why I like the YUI libraries (besides the excellent documentation); it is clean.
Officials of the world’s largest Internet media company said on Friday it planned to give away the underlying code to Yahoo Mail, one of the crown jewels of its business, in a bid to encourage software developers to build new applications based on e-mail.
