PaintbrushJS is a lightweight, browser-based image processing library
that can apply various visual filters to images within a web page.

So, who’s into photoshop filters with just a little Javascript, CSS and HTML elements?

Your “thank you” goes to Author of Mezzoblue, David Shea!

Drop down menu with CSS and jQuery

jankoatwarpspeed.com released an excellent tutorial on how to create an alternative drop down menu using only CSS and jQuery. HTML’s Select element is really useful but impossible to style it the way you want (Hello IE). The other drawback is that it only supports text. With Janko’s solution you can use images too.

MyCSS Grid System

There are many css frameworks out there. I personally don’t use any of those for various reasons. One of them should be the really weird naming conventions used. I just don’t like having divs with names like “lefthdr”. It doesn’t make sense to me. Another and most important reason is that most of the projects i put my hands on do not exceed 200 – 300 lines of css code so there’s no need for a framework.

Loon Design though released a really simple css framework (using weird names once more but it’s a really small file and you can edit them easily) with really small footprint (778 bytes).
