Looked around for a lib I could could use to automate compressed JS/CSS in my netbeans builds and this lib has done the trick, see my blog for info on how I used it. Fantastic work!

They even claim compressing with YUI Compressor works with server-side javascript too (ASP scripts can be coded in VBScript and in JavaScript)/ It seems guys from Stunnix have integrated YUI Compressor in their JavaScript Obfuscator and with their product you can minify JavaScript inside HTML files too (with use of YUI Compressor).

Take a look at the editor from yui 2.5.0 340K editor-beta-debug.js 64K editor-beta-debug.js.gz 332K editor-beta.js 60K editor-beta.js.gz 124K editor-beta-min.js 32K editor-beta-min.js.gz If you realy want to get everithing out of it -min.js.gz is the way to go, otherwize gzip is better. Hi,

unless you also use gzip (with content negotiation or some rewrite voodoo) I don’t see the point of the Compressor. Take a look at the editor from yui 2.5.0

340K editor-beta-debug.js
64K editor-beta-debug.js.gz
332K editor-beta.js
60K editor-beta.js.gz
124K editor-beta-min.js
32K editor-beta-min.js.gz

If you realy want to get everithing out of it -min.js.gz is the way to go, otherwize gzip is better.

I failed to find anything anywhere (including google) on how to rebuild it. Are there any Ant files, Makefiles, bash scripts or anything to rebuild it? Thanks in advance for your answer! Hi,

For eval(), the string is executed within the scope of the function in which it is called. For the others, the string is executed in the global scope and so doesn't have access to local variables or functions. Therefore, the restrictions for eval() don't apply to setTimeout() or setInterval(). The setTimeout() and setInterval() functions work slightly differently than eval() when taking a string.

Any plans to implement compacting of code inside html?

You recommend some best-practices that ultimately become that much better when leveraging YUI Compressor! I've always been a big fan of "Storing Local References to Objects/Values" as it saves a lot of redundant typing and bandwidth. YUI Compressor compliments this technique nicely :) Great summary, Nicholas. You recommend some best-practices that ultimately become that much better when leveraging YUI Compressor!
