Why doesn't this search box select all text on click?

You can see the search box in question at: http://www.trailbehind.com. If the user tries to search twice, they have to press backspace a bunch to clear the text, but I'd like to select all text on double click, which inputs should do by default. Why doesn't mind? When the users first clicks, I clear the input as follows: input.onclick...

Anyone using yui logger to track yui events? Is there a way to filter it?

The problem that I'm having with it, is that it tracks all the events in the log reader, too. This makes it very difficult to work with. As I scroll up down, click or move in the reader to examine events, it's scrolling all over the place adding new events. Is there a way to filter it to only include certain events from certain sources? ...

YUI Loader requests javascript files multiple times?

I am using YUI 2.7.0 and the YUI Loader in several places in one page, and FireBug shows me that, for instance, yahoo-dom-event.js is being loaded several times (by pretty much all of the loader instances).

In YUI, is there a way to reference the tab or tabview objects from the DOM?

It seems like there should be, but I've looked over the API and nada. I don't see how it's done in 2.x. Currently, I store references with the elements to the tab and tabview objects via jQuery's data method. The why: When I interact with the tabs via mouseovers and clicks, I need to be able to reference the YUI tab/tabview objects' pr...

Why does YUI Uploader return all queued files after file select?

Not sure if you guys are familiar with YUI Uploader, but after you click "browse" and select a bunch of files, the callback event returns a list of all the files that are queued, not just the ones you just finished selecting. This poses a bit of a problem because now instead of just adding the selected files to the UI, you have to clear ...
