How to use YUI or JQuery in Smarty template on Igniter Framework

You might want to take a look at how this is handled in Jack Slocum's EXT JS layout examples on the EXT JS site. EXT JS started off as a set of extensions for YUI, but has since become a standalone library. The EXT JS layouts have undergone changes since the framework was made a standalone library but the basic principles for incorporating the EXT or YUI libraries in a template are similar. Take a look at the Complex layout example in that library.

The basic principle to adding the libraries should remain the same for Smarty or any other view renderer you plan to use. For a specific example of using EXT JS with CI, find Coolfactor's thread on his proposed View library for CI.
