YUI is a comprehensive JavaScript and CSS library for building rich web applications. It provides a wide range of low-level DOM utilities and high-level widgets. Some key features include the Global YUI object, Node utility for DOM manipulation, Event handling, and pre-built widgets like Autocomplete, Calendar and Carousel. YUI is free, scalable, fast, robust, and well-documented with many examples. It allows developers to code efficiently without reinventing the wheel.

7. Global Object
<script src="http://yui.yahooapis.com/3.4.1/build/yui/yui-
min.js"></script>
<div id="demo">Click me</div>
<script>
// Create a new YUI sandbox and load the "node" module.
YUI().use('node','datatable', function (Y) {
var demo = Y.one('#demo'); demo.on('click', function (e) {
demo.set('text', 'You clicked me!');
});
});
</script>

8. Node
Getting a Node
<div id="main" class="mainclass"/>
// Use Y.one( [css selector string] )
var node = Y.one('#main');
var node = Y.one(.mainclass);
// Or pass an HTML element
var bodyNode = Y.one(document.body);

9. Creating Nodes and Modifying
Content
// Create a new Node
var item = Y.Node.create('<li id="step3"
class="highlight"><em>Profit</em></li>');
// Replace the content in a Node
Y.one("#hello").setContent("<h1>Hello,
<em>World</em>!</h1>");
// Append new markup inside a Node
bodyNode.append("<p>This is the end, beautiful friend,
the end.</p>");

10. Nodelist
var doneTasks = Y.all('#tasklist .completed');
// NodeLists host most Node methods for simple
iterative operations
doneTasks.removeClass('highlight');
// or call each() to do more work on each Node
doneTasks.each(function (taskNode) {
taskNode.transition({ opacity: 0 }, function () {
……..
});
});

11. Event
YUI().use('event', function (Y) {
// Step 1. Capture a button node
var button = Y.one("#readygo");
// Step 2. Subscribe to its click event with a callback
function
button.on("click", function (e) {
// Step 3. do stuff when the button is clicked
});
});
