Yahoo! User Interface Library

[Richard Wallace <rw...@thewallacepack.net>]

Hey everyone,

A web designer at work just showed me the DHTML/Javascript libraries 
that Yahoo! released about a month ago at 
http://developer.yahoo.com/yui/index.html.

They look pretty slick and are really well done.  I'm just curious if 
anyone else here has seen them and done any work with integrating some 
of the interface components into JSF.

The one I'm particularly interested in at the moment is the slider 
widget.  It's a much better alternative to providing users with a bunch 
of radio buttons.  And the way it works is seems like it would be very 
flexible.  What I want to do is create something like a 
<yahoo:inputSlider> component.  Doesn't look like it would be too 
complicated, and if no one else has done it yet would probably be a nice 
foray for me into the world of JSF component development.

Thoughts?
Rich

This is the first time I've seen Rico. It looks pretty cool. I 
definitely like some of the components there, like the LiveGrid data 
table and the accordion. And the drag and drop is definitely cool. But, 
at the moment the slider is what I'm most interested in. I agree it 
would be nice if all these new frameworks and js component libraries 
were to be consolidated into one so the focus could be on new features 
rather than reinventing the wheel 200 times, but the same could be said 
of any other framework.

Have you used all the Rico components in JSF? I'm particularly 
interested in hearing about the LiveGrid data table and how it works 
when used in a JSF environment.

Does anyone have a list of the JSF component libraries that are out 
there? I know there are some commercial ones that basically AJAXify any 
JSF component (like AjaxFaces), and like ICEFaces that is an AJAX 
enabled JSF implementation, but what other ajax libraries are out there 
other than the sandbox? Are there any?

yet another javascript framework..
we were happy with rico & prototype... :)

Actually it has some nifty features.
In the mean time it made me wonder..Anyone using a javascript-enabled
multi-language supported calendar component? (like the yahoo's *default
calendar*)...

No, the BSD license is not a problem.

There are some very nice components there, especially the drag and drop 
stuff and, indeed, the slider. The license is BSD however, that might be 
a problem...
