With the release of Adobe AIR 1.0 today, I figured I should package a sample AIR app using the latest YUI release. And what better example of showing YUI 2.5.0 in all it’s glory than to convert my Complex Application example.
This example contains a patched version of the YUI Editor that makes the Editor render inside of AIR. The Editor contained in this app is not a fully functional version of the Editor Control (I am still working on that).
You can download and install the AIR app from here.
So you can see what I have done, I have included the source for the AIR app here.
It seems that my CSS Grid Builder has hit the news again. Dion Almaer over at Ajaxian has posted an article linking to an article that Jeremy Zawodny did about my Grid Builder 
Who would have thought that it’s still getting all this love when I wrote it back in Nov of 2006.
I just updated the WordPress plugin for YUI Version 2.3.1. The following things were updated:
- Bug Fixes
- Flickr Plugin updated to abide by their TOU
- Comments toolbar updated to add support for
- XHTML
- Unordered Lists
- Ordered Lists
- The Editor will now not be displayed if you view the page with an iPhone or Nokia N95 Phone
You can get the details on installing it here.
Hey all –
Today, I got to post my very first blog article over on the YUI Blog. Swing on over and take a peek..
Today, the YUI team released version 2.3.0 of the library and it contains my Rich Text Editor. So I decided to build a plugin for WordPress that allows you to use that editor for blog posts as well as comments.
You can download the plugin here.
You can demo the plugin here: http://rte.davglass.com
The posting and comments feature of the plugin has also been activated, you can test the post editor by logging in with the username and password of: rte
Please be nice with the posts and the comments or I will have to turn off the demo.
I have the plugin installed on this site, so you should now see it in action when you make a comment
Enjoy
Dav
Note, I just found out that WordPress is filtering the content coming from the editor.. Let me get that patched. I’ll post an update when that is fixed..
Hey all –
I started playing with Apples DashCode beta and I thought it would be handy to port my GridBuilder to it.. So download it, play around with it & shoot me your thoughts/comments/curses
Check it out the screen shots here
Download the widget here.
This is my first attempt at a Dashboard widget, so please be gentle
Notes: Right now it doesn’t support the custom doc type for dynamic doc sizing, it only supports the built in #doc, #doc2 & #doc3.
It also defaults to a full view of the Widget. I would like to change it so that you have to click a button to expand the full widget, as it is it takes up a fair bit of screen real estate.
Hey all,
It’s been a while since I posted (I’ve been busy both personally and professionally), so please forgive me for the gap
However, I do have some good news that I wanted to share with the community.. I have been invited to the Hack Day event in London next month..
It’s going to be totally awesome!! I have never been to London, so I am really looking forward to it..
Cheers
The Yahoo! Developer Network released a new set of API’s today. They opened up the “Yahoo! Mail Web Service APIs“. This set of API’s is possibly the best set to ever be released..
Back in Dec I posted about my latest win at Hack Day (you can read about that here). Well, now that the API’s have been released, I can show you my winning hack 
Note: This hack was built in around 12 hours and it has not been tested! The code is messy and could have been done better, but I wanted to get as much done as possible so I hacked it quite a bit!
So now on to the hack…
My hack was called “CandyGram Lite” and it was an attempt to rebuild the new Yahoo! Mail Beta with semantic markup and using the YUI tools. Not only to make it faster, but to make it work in all Grade A Browsers.
Enough of the yapping, here’s the link:

You will need a Yahoo! Mail account in order to use it. If you don’t have one, get one here.
Please be gentle on my server
Well it’s official, I’m joining the crew on the YUI team. Eric has posted a nice note over at the YUI Blog about it.
I have to say I’m really excited and can’t wait to start. It’s going to be an absolute honor to work with that team.
And just so everyone knows, I will not give up on anything on this site. I will still maintain and continue to post examples and various utilities dealing with the libs.
