 * I’m using a YUI 2 calendar widget within a wordpress installation, and have a
   problem printing a date array.
 * Here are the configuration options of the calendar, to see how the dates are 
   passed as a non-array, for example “11/12/10,04/12/11”
    [http://developer.yahoo.com/yui/calendar/#config](http://developer.yahoo.com/yui/calendar/#config)
 * Here is the code I’m using, with an anonymous function:
    [http://pastebin.com/qASAsxGh](http://pastebin.com/qASAsxGh)
 * When the page loads, it’s completely blank except for the date_array which is
   printed at the top of the page. Does wordpress need some additional work around
   for this to function?
 * I’ve already done enqueues for several other javascript pieces, however I find
   it strange that the calendar loads perfectly with the dates highlighted if I 
   pass in “11/12/10,04/12/11”, but does not work if I try to use the function DateAnon()

 * I appreciate any and all help!

 * I found the answer thanks to blast007 in #YUI on the freenode IRC.
 * if you do a document.write after the page is loaded, it will overwrite your entire
   page
 * you probably want to have a placeholder element (say, a div) that you then manipulate
   the contents of – or maybe you really just want to send that data to a debugger
   like Firebug

 * Best Answer:
 * Use DOM Manipulation methods instead of document.write
