Thank you brian, but i still didn't get it, if YUI ended to be named Ext, why still Yahoo develop YUI?? or yui-ext is differnet than The Yahoo! User Interface Library (YUI)??

yui-ext is essentially an older version of extjs. and yui-ext was differnet from YUI, it just added more functionality to YUI, but now extjs can work standalone and with other frameworks.

If you are familiar with general open source coding practices, Ext can probably be considered a fork of yui.

Actually, Ext is not at all a fork of YUI. There is a very small set of YUI base code still used by Ext, but it was never a fork of YUI. Most of Ext core was written from scratch.

Jack Slocum's Ext JS, which originally began as a set of YUI extensions, can employ the YUI core and thereby adds all of the great Ext components to the YUI ecosystem.


i found Ext JS library is listed in this page (Frameworks & Libraries Powered by YUI) (http://developer.yahoo.com/yui/poweredby/):)

i think you've probably misread that. note the parts in bold:

i.e. ExtJS doesn't depend on YUI at all (think ext-base.js), but it can work with YUI if the developer so chooses to do so (think ext-yui-adapter.js).

HTH.
