Excellent video; enjoyed watching Douglas Crockford's talks. Many of the examples Yahoo or Google provide are still using type="text/javascript". View source, for instance for Split Buttons or examples Google Analytics provides. Moving the scripts at the end of a document is really a very useful tip. Thanks!

Am I the only one who finds the placement of that “if the video doesn’t show up for you” note hilarious? It’s just perfect for underlining the trinity of things that can go wrong on the web: JS+DOM, CSS, plugins (-:

Kirk -- To the extent that you find JSLint problems in YUI components that you're using, you should file those as bugs on YUILibrary.com. JSLint is an integral part of our workflow, and we always aim for compliance, -Eric

Is there an AJAX library that JSLints?
I have tried to JSLint YUI and JQuery with poor results.

Luis, Thanks for letting me know. We do get reports of playback interruptions from time to time with the Flash video, especially from outside the USA. I’ve started including HD downloads for all YUI Theater videos, so hopefully that will ensure good playback options where the Flash player isn’t doing so. I like the Flash player’s full screen mode, and the quality is excellent when it functions properly, but 480p .mov files are even better. -Eric

I have a fast and tested internet connection, but I have tried to watch the video online and it keeps stopping every 15 seconds or so. I have tested it with Chrome, FF and IE with the same result.

I am now downloading it at 300 kb/s so it is definitely not a bandwith problem. Maybe it’s my Flash plugin but I installed it quite recently too.

Anyway just so you know the video may have viewing problems for other people too.
