More Hidden YUI Treasures

I had heard via an email about the latest (2.5.1) release of YUI. I've been anticipating this release because of its added support for Adobe AIR. What I did not expect to see was additional killer hidden features. I really gotta start digging more through this codebase. Those YUI folks create amazing features and don't even advertise them.

The feature I discovered this time around is Chain. What does Chain do for you? Well imagine if you had a sequence of animations you wanted to carry out in order but wanted to do things like "move here, wait 3 seconds, change color, then fade out". Doing that in YUI is somewhat awkward without a bit of advanced knowledge of Event and stuff. This Chain seems to be designed to make this alot more easy.

Since I've just read about it myself and not really tried it out.

All YUI needs to make it the undisputed killer library is to add a wrapper for storage like Dojo Storage does.
