Welcome to my first JavaScript related post! I’m currently in the process of both learning *proper* JavaScript and trying to get to grips with the YUI framework. If you have suggestions for how to improve the following code I’d love to hear them.

The YUI Carousel widget is currently in Beta, and the navigation that it generates is very basic and, unlike the rest of the YUI framework, doesn’t have the necessary CSS hooks to style it properly. This may change with the release of YUI 3.0, but the Carousel widget isn’t included yet. So for the time being this three-part series will show you how to setup a Carousel & build custom navigation.
