Filed under

Need a completely CSS-driven layout for that site you're working on? Need it now? Visit http://developer.yahoo.com/yui/grids/builder/, enter in your layout specifications into the tool bar, and save the code. You don't have to piece together the all of those browser positioning hacks anymore.
