jQuery++ is an MIT licensed collection of extremely useful DOM helpers and special events for jQuery 1.7 and later. It’s not a UI project like jQuery UI or jQuery Tools. Instead, jQuery++ is all about providing low-level utilities for things that jQuery doesn’t support.
jQuery++ does things the jQuery way, which makes it really easy to learn if you are already familiar with jQuery. Simply select the files you want and click “Downloadâ€. This will create and download a jquerypp.custom.js with all the files you selected and their dependencies.
Requirements: jQuery Framework

Inspect Element has written a tutorial to show us you can create a simple “stacked” look to some images with CSS3 Pseudo-Elements.
It’s important to note that currently only Firefox supports transitions on :before and :after (the transitions are defined earlier in the page on the pseudo elements themselves) as far as I know. WebKit doesn’t seem to support it in any incarnation at this point but hopefully will add it sometime soon.

Gridpak is the starting point for your responsive projects, improving your workflow and saving time. Create your responsive grid system once using the simple interface and let Gridpak do the heavy lifting by generating PNGs, CSS and JavaScript.
The CSS that Gridpak generates is compatible with IE 8+, however it makes use of some more experimental CSS properties such as the media query, box-sizing and background-clip properties so we suggest using it in conjunction with a library such as Modernizr to ensure backwards compatibility.
