@V1 the author is a good friend of mine and less annoyed about this than you are.

Yes, and no. Y.get and .one return a YUI Node not a DOM Element .. Node != Element

RPBouman: some, like me, would sy that is a good thing. But unfortunately that isn’t the case, but see pQuery (on the CPAN).

Hey, you folks all know that there are JavaScript obfuscation tools that will make your code impossibly difficult to read and ultimately maintain down the road automatically, right? You don’t actually have to write the code like that yourself!

Oh, sorry, did I forget to wrap that in sarcasm tags?

RPBouman,

What? jQuery looks like a DSL. Perl looks like… pretty much whatever you want it to look like, from seemingly random characters to fairly sane scripting.

What can I say…jQuery, the framework that managed to make javascript look like Perl…

Y.get is deprecated (in favor of Y.one), and it would be more jQuery-like to use var $ = Y.all; which manages lists of nodes. But obviously in jq, the $ is overloaded to do a lot more than fetch nodes.

@Schill Do you really think it’s because of Friday that we see this kind of s…tuff?

Does it *need* to break the sandboxing though? Why not just do this:

YUI().use(‘*’, function(Y){
var $ = Y.get;
for(var p in Y) {
$[p] = Y[p];
}
// test
$(‘body’).append(“boo!”);
});

Do not tease the jQuery gods, they will rain down $ from the global window and smite thee!
(I dunno either, it’s Friday. :D)
