igoogle.com uses Yahoo YUI grids css styles

July 17th, 2007 Posted in Thoughts

If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!

Whilst messing around on the igoogle.com (or google.com/ig - whichever url you prefer) in CSSEdit, I spotted one or two familiar looking CSS classes and element names being used, namely #doc3, yui-b, yui-gb and yui-u.

And, indeed, after extracting the style sheet from the site, right down the bottom is the following chunk of CSS:

/* ===============BEGIN BSD LICENSED PORTION============= */

#modules .yui-b {
position:static;
display:block;
margin:0 0 1em 0;
float:none;
width:auto;
overflow:hidden;
}
.yui-gb .yui-u {
float:left;
margin-left:2%;
*margin-left:1.895%;
width:32%;
}
.yui-gb div.first {
margin-left:0;
}
#modules,.yui-gb {
zoom:1;
}
/* ===============END BSD LICENSED PORTION============= */

A stripped down version of the Yahoo grid css style sheet, but there it is.

    It’s not surprising. The YUI library is very good, and BSD licensed, so they can do what they want with it. :) It’s even better if they contribute any changes to YUI.
