The new Yahoo home page went live for most users today. It makes extensive use of the Yahoo! User Interface Library, a free, open source library that developers can incorporate into their own Web sites to easily enable dynamic HTML and AJAX goodness. Nate posts more details on what’s under the hood over on the Y!UI blog.
I’m sitting in a conference room at XTech right this minute watching Simon give his talk on the library. It’s amazing how much is in this library — a lot of useful abstractions for DOM plumbing that’s difficult to do in a cross-browser way, but also a lot of higher level stuff like drag/drop support, asynchronous posts, and tons more.

No Safari support, me no like :)
What OS version and what version of Safari? If you’re using OS X 10.4.x with Safari 2.0 you should get the same experience as users on any other A-grade browser, if not, it’s a bug.
FYI, the table of browser compabibility for Y!UI (which is updated all the time as browser versions and usage patterns change) is here: http://developer.yahoo.com/yui/articles/gbs/gbs_browser-chart.html
Yeah, Jeffrey, us cool kids with Macs are getting the “sorry we don’t support your dumpy browser” message. (OS 10.4.6 w/Safari 2.0.3) Sorry to rain on your parade. Firefox 1.5 works like a charm, though.
That is one cool compatibility table, but a huge blue bar comes up on the homepage preview saying the homepage only supports IE 6 and Firefox 1.5 with a button to go Back To Yahoo!
I am on OS X 10.4.6 and Safari 2.0.3
This is bull crap. I will annoy people until it stops.
