this

for (var i = 0; i < len; i++) {
YAHOO.util.Event.addListener(anchors[i], “click”, function (e) {
YAHOO.util.Event.preventDefault(e);
YAHOO.util.Connect.asyncRequest(”GET”, this.href + “table_snippet.php”, { success: requestSuccess, failure: requestFailure });
})
};
}

could be this:
YAHOO.util.Event.on(anchors, ‘click’, function(e){
YAHOO.util.Event.preventDefault(e);
YAHOO.util.Connect.asyncRequest(”GET”, YAHOO.util.Event.getTarget(e).href + “table_snippet.php”, { success: requestSuccess, failure: requestFailure });
});

Event.on accepts a bunch of nodes too

Hi Klaus,

Nice YUI tutorials. Hope more will come. Maybe you want to do screencasts like dustindiaz did in the past. See for example http://www.dustindiaz.com/downloads/screencasts/screencast-01-yui-basics.mov.

I only have on comment. You wrote:
var response = eval(”(” + o.responseText + “)”);

If I am right using eval is evil and should be avoided if possible. I believe YUI has a JSON module to do this work for you.

Greetings,
Alfred Westerveld

Hello! Many thanks for your “Mission” series thusfar; I always wanted to get into YUI but I never found the “key to open the door” so to speak; your series has given me that key!

Looking foward to all your future posts,
