WSGers, We've been using the YUI for a while. We wrote our own variant to support the proportions that our Art Director likes to use, which include the Golden Mean.
It's boosted our front end development speed and means we can start getting consitent layout hapenning when we develop HTML prototypes as well. It also gives us a head start when we are browser testing. It was pretty easy to re-write the CSS to support the proportional grids that we want to use. Remember that constraining widths is easy enough, but constraining heights is a real pain if you want the user to be able to resize text.

Not that I can see - grids offers a variety of column widths and nesting. You do a large variety of things with it and column widths don't appear to be golden mean base, but based on Yahoo's enormous experience . > I am slowly learning to create aesthetically pleasing web designs, > although i would never use the Yahoo framework As someone who is getting ready to implement grids for a large government project, may I ask why not? ******************************************************************* List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ******************************************************************* ******************************************************************* List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: [EMAIL PROTECTED] *******************************************************************
