YAML 3.0.5 released

May 25th, 2008 by Dirk Jesse

After 6 months of rest, a new version is ready for download. The "Simple Project Example" and the YAML Builder have also been updated.

The updates affect many small changes in YAMLs core files and in the layout examples. A better treatment of the IE's clearing bug allows to remove the z-index demand from content columns. This should make a number of difficulties in adapting e.g. drop-down menus a bit easier now. Screen and print layout can't affect each other anymore and in the layout examples you'll find an improved JS expression to fix the missing min-width and max-width properties in IE 5.x and IE 6. The Simple Project Example and the YAML Builder were also updated on YAML 3.0.5. The Builder generates the just mentioned JS expressions dynamically in the latest version 1.0.1.

During the last months a couple of grid-based css frameworks came up. Unfortunately in many recent articles on grids and/or grid frameworks YAML is mentioned primarily in conjunction with column based designs and not with grids. Thats why a few weeks ago I've created a small demonstration of a flexible grid-layout using YAML, based on the sampe website of Blueprint.

Update: YAML 3.0.6 comes with two small bug fixes and a better debug stylesheet (see changelog for details).
