Kevin — we work hard to make the examples lucid and well-commented — it sounds like, in this case, we failed. Come be part of the solution — head over to yuilibrary.com, join the community, and help us make YUI 3 better. -Eric

The problem with these examples is that they are not modular in the sense that you can modify them to suit your needs without a lot of effort. For example, trying to remove the ‘feeds’ from the sample code so that I can replace the feeds with other content is proving to be too onerous to continue to use these components. In addition, there are almost no real comments within the code, and html is hard coded everywhere. Is this a joke?

hi Could you update the portal example with a DataTable as one of the widgets? It ain’t working for me.

@Choongie — When you download the YUI 3 package, the swf for io is in the build/io directory. -Regards, Eric

I downloaded the files and the feeds seem like they have some trouble loading when I run the site from my machine. I didn’t know if it was because I couldn’t find the physical path to this piece of code:


//Setup the config for IO to use flash

	Y.io.transport({

		id: 'flash',

		yid: Y.id,

		src: 'assets/io.swf'

    });

Is there anyone who knows the physical path to this file? I couldn’t even find it in the assets folder in the download…

Wow, so many haters! YUI! is great, keep it up.

It would have been nice though if the example was slightly more modular instead of a 550 lines spaghetti code =)

I wish we could see an easy way to use version of Anim package. While you keep an existing Anim API, you could introduce an (abstract) higher level methods like for example toggle, appear, hide, ease, slideup, slidedown e.g.

Code call could be like this: Y.get(‘.detail’).slideup();

Why is YUI not following the prototypal inheritance style recommendations? I was hoping that Yahoo would practice what they preached.
