Container-specific Tips
Submission
All applications can be pushed live without Yahoo!'s approval. Approval will be required for inclusion in the Application Gallery when it is made available.
Views
Yahoo! supports two views for your application:
- Canvas View
- Small View, which is currently available for My Yahoo!.
The size of a Canvas View is 760 px wide with an infinite height.
The size of a Small View depends on its host Web page, but typically the size is 300 px wide by 250 px high with fluid height. On My Yahoo!, Small Views have fluid width and height depending on the layout of the customized page.
Implementation Differences
Detailed information about YAP's implementation of OpenSocial 0.9 is available on YDN along with example code to help you get started quickly.
Your gadget's HTML, JavaScript, and CSS will be transformed using Caja to restricted form that prevents malicious applications from doing damage. The Caja playground will help you get your JavaScript working with YAP.
