Hidden Gems in the YAHOO Object

Lang's little gems, on PlankDesign.com

Mitch at PlankDesign.com has posted a nice review of one of the least-discussed aspects of YUI Core — the YAHOO Global Object’s YAHOO.lang member. He covers a number of the language conveniences provided therein, including type checking, trim, substitute, later and merge.

Luke Smith from the YUI team recently added some great examples of other features in the YAHOO object, so check those out, too, if you’re interested in learning more about this essential building block of YUI.

Thanks for the insights, Mitch!

  2. Chris — That would just be an oversight on our part; sorry for the omission. -Eric
