I have unofficially unveiled yavascript.org, by that I mean it’s on-line but this is the first public mention of it. It is fairly basic at the moment but has all the important information relating to the first version of my yavascript compiler and development system. So yeah, head on over and check it out, download and try out the tool and, if you’re so inclined, read my report on its development:

Recently I saw a question on a board I visit asking about how to make tooltips in Javascript, now I am a big JS fan, having spent a lot of time writing yavascript to aid in it’s development, but it’s a last resort – if you can’t do something any other way, use Javascript. Although doing things such as tooltips without Javascript is admittedly hard and people may not even realise it’s possible – it is, so I did:

Example 1 – CSS tooltips:

http://yavascript.org/css/tooltip.html

Note: CAN be dodgy in IE6 if you don’t make the offset big enough to appear under the link.

Example 2 – CSS lightbox:

http://yavascript.org/css/lightbox.html

Note: Currently only works in Firefox 3.
