In this documentation for YAP it speaks of http://developer.yahoo.com/yap/guide/yapdev-yml.html#yml-params-encoding parameters being passed into a content view in the gadget. But, can you tell me the right syntax if you are using a YAP and not a standard YAP. In this document, http://developer.yahoo.com/yap/guide/include.html this works if you are using a standard YAP and php , but what if you are using javascript?
