Write More Efficient Javascript in YUI with CSS Selectors
This is an updated version of a previous article entitled Using DOM Query Libraries in YUI for the new version of YAHOO.util.Dom included with YUI 2.3.0 as well as including support for passing context nodes into Dom functions.

Using DOM Query Libraries in YUI
Recently, I posted the top 8 things I thought the YUI Library needed to be a top tier JavaScript library again. One of those things included a CSS Selector DOM Querying class. Use one of these babies for awhile, and you’ll never be able to code without it again. They’re amazingly useful and will shorten [...]

Problems with YUI DataTable
If you have read anything I’ve written before or know me at all, you know that my go-to JavaScript library is the one and only YUI. So obviously, when I was looking around for a Grid (or as YUI jargon goes, a DataTable), naturally I’m going to turn to YUI compatible components. First, I looked [...]
Namespaces in Ext DomQuery
Do you want to use custom attributes in your XHTML? Do you use the YUI Library and Jack Slocum’s wonderful DomQuery selector engine? If you want to select attribute nodes with a namespace in your XHTML, DomQuery does not support namespaces as an option to do so. But by adding a small snippet of code [...]
