The Yahoo! User Interface Library (YUI) is a pretty innovative utility in the Open Source developer field. YUI is almost completely hosted and interacted through the files on your computer. The YUI project is hosted on SourceForge (Really Yahoo!? Why not on Google Code?). Anyways, My favorite feature is the Logging right in the window and the built-in Yahoo UI Library search interface (see below). There are also more than 180 functional examples right now.
However, let’s get a description directly from Yahoo! themselves:
The Yahoo! User Interface (YUI) Library is a set of utilities and controls, written in JavaScript, for building richly interactive web applications using techniques such as DOM scripting, DHTML and AJAX. The YUI Library also includes several core CSS resources. All components in the YUI Library have been released as open source under a BSD license and are free for all uses.
The CSS Grid Builder Description from Download Squad:
Enter the CSS Grid Builder from the good folks at Yahoo!. Yahoo! has spent thousands of hours crafting web pages and testing them across all the possible OS and browser combinations (yes, even Opera). The end result of all this testing was the public release of the Yahoo! User Interface CSS and JavaScript libraries. The CSS Grid Builder is a simple web-based interface for quickly creating any number of layouts that rely solely on YUI’s CSS files. This gives you the advantage of easily and visually laying out designs without using tables, and they will work the same way in every popular browser
