YUILoader has two method to load YUI:

YUILoader class is automatically inizialized and used by CIwY, but if you want you can freely use it with $this->yuiloader

Note: Be careful using this class to prevent unpredictable behaviour.

YUILoader: The PHP method

The CIwY class has the $yuiloader_method property that tells ciwy which loader method use between 'php' and 'js'. Default is 'php'.

Note: This class is derived from YUI PHP Loader Utility [beta].

With the PHP method YUILoader will generate HTML code to embed YUI.

YUILoader: The JS method

If you changed the default loader method in 'js', in that case YUILoader will generate JS code that will embed YUI in the page.
