 * <li>UI look-and-feel customizable through CSS, including container

 * attributes, borders, position, fonts, etc</li>

 * </ul>

 *

 * requires YAHOO.util.Dom Dom utility

 * requires YAHOO.util.Event Event utility

 * requires YAHOO.widget.DataSource Data source class

 * see YAHOO.util.Animation Animation utility

 * see JSON JSON library

 *
