So I'm delving into the next-generation designs for several of our newspaper sites, and I thought it would be incredibly handy to have a great CSS framework for creating advanced grids. I'd seen the Yahoo User Interface library's grids module and thought it might fit the bill, so I dug a little deeper.
After playing with it a bit, I've come to the conclusion that it's really, really nice -- and at the same time totally useless to me. Unless I'm missing something, the widest possible top-level template (which Yahoo calls your "outer template") is 750px. I'm dead-set on making these sites wider than that.
So...I ask of Dustin, Simon, and anyone else at the big red Y! that might be reading: am I missing something, or is this a limitation of the framework?
