Apologies, I have no experience with this and don't believe it to be a problem with the code... if you figure it out please let me know :)

Hi, i have the same error. The problem is, that you use "float" as a key/id in extensionMethods{}. It is reserved in JS

[simeydotme]

ohhh, @3Qm that totally makes sense! :)
but is this a case of YUI being overly sensitive? because it's actually an object property, not a variable name, so it's totally fine?

I don't really see anyway to prevent this without a major version release to plurialise float to floats or change to tips .... any thoughts?

I have changed float to floats and it works for me with YUI and was the fastest solution.
