Editor's Notes
- Yml:name Displays the name of the specified person. Optionally, links to the person's Yahoo! Profile page.
- Calls to alert() are redirected to console.log(). You can't use external scripts or external stylesheets yet. Inline them instead. Complex libraries such as YUI, jQuery, and Prototype might partially work if you inline them, but they are not seamless yet. The document.write method is subject to restrictions described in DOM Limitations. However, innerHTML and many commonly-used DOM interfaces are supported.
