8 * The YAHOO object is the single global object used by YUI Library. It
9 * contains utility function for setting up namespaces, inheritance, and
10 * logging. YAHOO.util, YAHOO.widget, and YAHOO.example are namespaces
11 * created automatically for and used by the library.
16 if (typeof YAHOO == "undefined") {
18 * The YAHOO global namespace object
26 * Returns the namespace specified and creates it if it doesn't exist
28 * YAHOO.namespace("property.package");
29 * YAHOO.namespace("YAHOO.property.package");
31 * Either of the above would create YAHOO.property, then
32 * YAHOO.property.package
34 * Be careful when naming packages. Reserved words may work in some browsers
35 * and not others. For instance, the following will fail in Safari:
37 * YAHOO.namespace("really.long.nested.namespace");
39 * This fails because "long" is a future reserved word in ECMAScript
43 * @param {String*} arguments 1-n namespaces to create
44 * @return {Object} A reference to the last namespace object created
46 YAHOO.namespace = function() {
47 var a=arguments, o=null, i, j, d;

53 for (j=(d[0] == "YAHOO") ? 1 : 0; j<d.length; ++j) {
54 o[d[j]]=o[d[j]] || {};
63 * Uses YAHOO.widget.Logger to output a log message, if the widget is available.
67 * @param {String} msg The message to log.
68 * @param {String} cat The log category for the message. Default
69 * categories are "info", "warn", "error", time".
70 * Custom categories can be used as well. (opt)
71 * @param {String} src The source of the the message (opt)
72 * @return {Boolean} True if the log operation was successful.

84 * Utility to set up the prototype, constructor and superclass properties to
85 * support an inheritance strategy that can chain constructors and methods.
89 * @param {Function} subc the object to modify
90 * @param {Function} superc the object to inherit
91 * @param {Object} overrides additional properties/methods to add to the
92 * subclass prototype. These will override the
93 * matching items obtained from the superclass

114 * Applies all prototype properties in the supplier to the receiver if the
115 * receiver does not have these properties yet. Optionally, one or more
116 * methods/properties can be specified (as additional parameters). This
117 * option will overwrite the property if receiver has it already.
121 * @param {Function} r the object to receive the augmentation
122 * @param {Function} s the object that supplies the properties to augment
123 * @param {String*} arguments zero or more properties methods to augment the
124 * receiver with. If none specified, everything
125 * in the supplier will be used unless it would
126 * overwrite an existing property in the receiver
