YUI can be a bit more involved than JQuery, but generally also considerably more flexible.
It depends on what kind of syntax you prefer, your working style and what you want from the tools you use. Each to their own as they say!

Hi,

Nice read will have a try of this. However, from a first glance it seems a lot more involved to do than using a JQuery solution.

@Temitope – Of course! You can just set the following css option. This (not yet complete) 3-part tutorial is aimed at creating custom navigation as it isn’t straightforward.

.yui-carousel-nav{
display:none;

can’t we just do away with the control altogether and the carousel will start playing automatically without viewer interruption?

I’ll have a look at solving this when I put the final article together. Been a bit delayed but will be soon.

Problems with the AutoPlay:

I have been playing with the YUI and was reading through your article. Here’s the problem. When you choose to use this as a navigation-type control (see CNET.COM) there is a problem with AutoPlay. AutoPlay does not go through each image on a page. It goes through each page. So if I choose to show only 1 image per page it works fine. If I have 15 images and choose to show 3 per page, it does not cycle image 1, 2, 3 and then change pages and go on, it goes image 1, 4, 7, etc… just like I was clicking the “forward” button instead of increasing my current image index.

Any ideas for a fix? Thanks, -Tom

Nice and wonderful article/tutorial,

Don’t you think YUI its too have and its need more time load sometimes?????

I like to use YUI, but I prefer to use JQuery and Prototype more, specially when you combined both frameworks, also JQuery let you think outside the box.
