I'm looking for live grid builder.
E.g.: I need 9 boxes
And with options to possible combine some blocks.
There's dare I say, hundreds of CSS grid libraries/frameworks. Bootstrap, Foundation, 960 Grid, Pure.. Bootstrap and Foundation are probably the most widely used with tons of documentation. There's also Gridstack and Gridster that are Javascript plugins that are more for widget building.
I'm don't want create for me. Just maybe exist any library or something other.

I just started working with Polymer and their starter kit. I want to have a standard hero image with a text overlay - naturally, I want the image to be responsive. I've gone through all the Iron and Paper elements and can't seem to find anything that works.
I've tried using the Iron image, Flex layout, and Media queries in various compbinations to get what I need, but to no avail. I've found several 3rd party components like x-imager that will do the trick, but I would've thought such basic functionality would be available right out of the box like it is with pretty much every "responsive" framework - and yes, while I know Polymer isn't supposed to be a framework, I guess I expected it to be part of their component library. And yes, I also know I can create a simple CSS class that does that like Bootstrap does too, but I'm looking for native functionality, out of the box here.
Is there something I'm missing here or should I just create a custom component and move on?
I'm planning on designing my next website purely in the browser, but would like to use a grid system. I'm pretty new to grid systems, and when I've looked into them they all recommend I use Photoshop to layer the grid image over my design. If I want to use a grid system but not Photoshop, do I just use something like Susy to view the grid in the browser?
Thanks!
I've never seen a web grid system recommend using photoshop, so I'm not sure where you saw that - but you certainly can use Susy to view (and manage) your grid directly in the browser.
I had experience with Twitter Bootstrap and Foundation, and I personally think the only thing I want to use is their grid system. Other features are just bloated.
So I read about the prospect of a grid layout. All of the articles I found are oriented toward an 'artistic' explanation (golden ratio ect). I am a coder at heart, I need a clear & logical reason to use a grid layout (for example: 'columns can be easily stacked on top of each other on mobile screen, and expand horizontally on larger screens'). Can someone give me the pros and cons of applying a grid system to my website? Personally do you think using a grid system is good?
If the answer is yes, should I use a premade grid system like from Twitter Bootstrap/Foundation or just make one for my own? All of the other features are unnecessary for me an irrelevant to my problem.
Thanks! :D
I agree with #kunalbhat that this might not be the best area to ask this but since you did I will try to answer it.
The grids are designed allow for speed and adaptability. Speed in multiple senses. The first part of the speed is the speed of writing the code. You can easily get the layout you want when you are using the grid system and everything aligns correctly. You don't have to remember your tables and columns and col-spans, etc.
The second speed is modifying your code. Inevitably you will need to go back and make changes, with a grid this is easily to do. Changing a col-md-7 to a col-md-6 easily makes a little tweak in the layout of your page that can easily be tracked and performed.
You mentioned responsive design, both Bootstrap and Foundation have responsive grids. The grids will snap to different sizes based on the viewport size. However you have control as well. For example if you want something to take 1/12th the screen in desktop, 1/4th on a tablet, and 100% on a phone that is easily done with Bootstrap and Foundation, both have grid classes that target specific viewports.
The also provide visibility classes based on those viewports.
For the "bloated" part that is easily solved. Using SCSS you can easily only import portions of a library. For example for one project I was on I only imported the Grid and it was considerably smaller.
I happen to think that this is a SO question, simply because of one of the main cons of CSS grid systems: semantic.
I think semantic is important for a web developer and having a class named col-md-7 is not the most semantic thing to do.
But I like grids, because they are easy and quick to use, so I started to use LESS. Because it allows me to use variables and functions(mixins) in CSS, I can build my own grid system on my CSS rather then on my HTLM.
You can start on Frameless and customize your own 'classes'.
I am familiar with the popular 960 Grid System setup and it's been very helpful - but I am looking for other popular/heavily-adopted solutions with the following abilities:
Larger base resolution (1280px rather than 1024px)?
Makes use of HTML5 semantic layout tags: ASIDE, NAV, etc.
Clean CSS: few "tricks/quirks" as possible... CSS3 would be a bonus.
Thank you.
Twitter Bootstrap features a grid system as well. It is kind of based on the 960 one but you can also modify it to roll your own. And it has a bunch of other shiny features (including HTML 5 and CSS 3).
Not sure if many people are still using the 960px layout since many people are into responsive design now. Check out html5boilerplate, tutorial from tutsplus(html5/css3 starter), cssgrid, fluid base grid(targets any resolution). Not sure if those helped but should give you an idea. I would go with fluid or used one of these as a boilerplate for new projects.
I'm working on a small bugtracking system which shows a list of bugs. For the overview I want to use a grid - now I only need a style.
Of course I won't copy the whole style from anyone else, but I just want to know which type of styles you like. Do you have any other great style?
What do you think about the styles on this site.
Do you like the Component art grid styles?
What about the styles from telerik?
Thanks for your help
CSS table gallery can be a great source of inspiration.
