Less Framework is a cross-device CSS grid system that uses inline media queries.
It was previously shared at WRD and now became more mature and powerful with the 3rd version.
It first creates a default layout normally and adds additional layouts using inline media queries. Any browsers incompatible with media queries will simply ignore all the additional layouts, and will only use the default one.
The additional layouts will inherit any styles given to the default layout, so coding them is a breeze.
Less Framework's website shows howmany columns are required for which devices and the CSS code can be customized online.

SpryMap is a JavaScript widget for creating drag 'n' drop windows similar to Google Maps for easily navigating around big images.
It is a standalone script that doesn't require any JS frameworks and still lightweight (2.8kb).
The widget has the options to give you the full control including "the starting coordinates", "dragging to be stopped or not when an edge is reached" and more.
There is also an animation once the image is dropped that positions the image softly (optional as well).
The 1140 grid is a CSS framework which fits perfectly to 1280px resolutions and, for smaller sizes, it becomes fluid for adapting to the width of the browser.
After a certain size, by using media queries for serving the mobile version, it positions all the columns on top of each other to help the same design still make sense.
It uses a 12 column system and have gutters ~40px on full-width.
The framework works in most modern browsers. As expected, it is a little problematic in IE6 (the developer of the framework states there should be very few people using IE6 and having a large screen size which sounds true).
Everybody has lots passwords; e-mail accounts, online banking, favorite websites and many others.
And if you're a web designer/developer, there is much more to remember like the FTP and database users-passes or logins for servers, etc.
cPassMan is an open source and web-based application for keeping track of any number of passwords (and usernames or any other critical info).
It can be used collaboratively by multiple users with a role-based security system.
All data is encrypted in the database and they are not displayed in any way but can be copied to clipboard.
The application has an Ajaxed interface, built with PHP, uses MySQL and it is a very handy resource for keeping data both safe and reachable.
It is so clear that the web design world is full of incompabilities with different behaviours on different browsers, browser versions and OSs.
PHP CSS Browser Selector is a tiny PHP function which enables us to write specific CSS code for each operating system and each browser.
Once it is called (<?php echo css_browser_selector() ?>), it outputs something similar to "gecko ff3 win" according to your OS and browser environment.
When you call it inside the class of an element, just like: <html class="<?php echo css_browser_selector() ?>"> will return <html class="gecko ff3 win">.
And, if you have the rules ready for .gecko, .ff3 and .win, then you're all set.
The function is a good fit, specially if you're not able to target users with JavaScript for a reason (usually, if the JS is turned of)
