YUI Container Primer Tutorial

We’ve quite often visited Yahoo’s YUI library of JavaScript functionality for useful front-end web application ideas.

Today we continue with ideas thanks to the great ideas in JavaScript and Ajax (seventh edition … ISBN: 9780321564085) by Tom Negrino and Dori Smith (page 371-375), and look at the YUI library concept of a “container” as “an object that encloses any kind of content” (to quote from this book).

Sounds pretty open-ended, and it is, and reminds one (or even more than one) of the idea of a “widget”, perhaps.

To categorize these “container” types we have …

  1. Module … can appear anywhere on webpage
  2. Overlay … floats above webpage inline content
    • Tooltip … small floating (informational) boxes
    • Panel … mimics operating system window
    • Simple Dialog … yes/no
    • Dialog … standard dialog

… so today we do a little “converter” program … you know the sort … feet to metres, fahrenheit to celcius degrees etcetera etcetera etcetera … that uses an YUI Overlay Dialog “container” arrangement.

Here are some programming source code links to supplement the live run

Link to YUI Library information … via Wikipedia.
Link to YUI Library spiritual home page … via Yahoo!
Link to YUI Library download page … download YUI Library here.
