I want to display some custom data on 2D (but not with the world map) with google map fashion. Each data point has a coordinate on the 2D plan. Each data point has some attributes associated with it, users can click a point to display the associated info. Users can select the data based on the attributes. One example is the following webpage, but it is made of flash. Does anybody have a suggestion on what js library to use? Are there any example webpage using javascript?
app.nihmaps.org
OpenLayers : Free Maps for the Web - http://openlayers.org/
When I was answering another question about the use of css3 transforms for google maps behavior, I stumbled across a pretty slick jQuery plugin called Smooth Zoom Pan that does panning and zooming in google maps fashion ... and you can have any kind of background image + layers of information at desired zoom level ... however, if you want to use the plugin it will cost you a couple of bucks ( ... but seems to work good enough to be worth it)
But you can also just sneak a peek of the js code they use on their demo page and get an idea how to implement something similar in your own fashion =)

I'm fairly new in CSS web design. I found some website combine multi image in one image file. This is an example from Amazon :
http://g-ecx.images-amazon.com/images/G/01/x-locale/personalization/amznlike/amznlike_sprite_02._V196113939_.gif
And i really want to know how to do it in the best way. Is there any tool for combine image and get pixel position of each image to put them in CSS?
They are called CSS Sprites. You can google a lot of information. This techniques are used by most sites to reduce loading time. What you basically do is load one images in all the elements you want to load the images.
But you load them as their background images, thus enabling you to modifying their position. Thus making it possible to show different version of same images.
I dont want to tell everything so here is a futher read to get you started.

I'm very new to ASP.NET and creating web pages, my previous experience has all been creating WinForms apps. I am having a bit of a rough time just getting the layout of pages the way I want. Whereas I have been used to just dragging and dropping controls exactly where I wanted them on a Windows Form, the VWD development environment for ASP pages seems very fragmented to me with its master pages, content pages, CSS files etc.
What I'd like to know is are there any add-ins or design programs that could greatly simplify designing web pages, so that I can get on with the code behind aspect of my site, rather than spending so long simply trying to get the presentation right?
Well, I can understand moving from WInForms to the Web can be confusing at first.
It's all about understanding HTML and in particular the flow of elements combined with CSS.
There are some tools around (Even visual studio in design mode), but they usually create crappy HTML or a lot of fixed layouts that will not do well on tablets, phones etc.
If you are new, focus on MVC and getting a framework (Example Twitter Bootstrap http://getbootstrap.com/2.3.2/) should get you up and running quite quickly.

#Pleun made a good comment about using Twitter Bootstrap and ASP.NET-MVC. I'd like to add to it that there is a good library that ties these two together even further:
TwitterBootstrapMVC
You end up writing even less code compare to what you'd have to write. The whole experience indeed becomes similar to drag and drop.

I'm a programmer at heart. I am not great at UI development and it takes 90% of my time.
I'm wondering if there is a UI framework which uses only CSS and no JavaScript. I found http://www.gantry-framework.org but it seems to be targeted at Joomla and Wordpress.
Any suggestions will be very welcome. It will help me with my development.
Thanks.
ADDITION
I'm looking for a framework that allows me to easily design and deploy a user interface for my website. Something that reduces the time it takes to make them manually.
I'm not looking to make effects or other special stuff like modal windows etc. (I use Qooxdoo and jQuery UI for advanced UI). Just basic layout and nice looks.
Check out http://purecss.io/. It's a Yahoo project.
There are CSS frameworks available to use, if that's what you're interested in:
960 Grid
YAML
BlueprintCSS

Not a technical question lads but ive been looking for a set of icons for a room reservation thing that im working on.
theres loads of icon resources around the web alrite but is there a decent place to go for some quality free icons that anyone can recommend??
I usually go the IconArchive or famfamfam when I'm looking for some tiny ones. Both of the sites have loads of free to use icons sets.
I usually use either well-known an re-usable icon sets, or bespoke search engines to find specific icons (and preferably the whole set they belong to and their license)
Icon Sets
famfamfam
fugue
glaze
tango
openiconlibrary
...
Search Engines
http://images.google.com (always handy, w/ settings for "Icons" and "Commercial Reuse" if needed)
http://www.iconfinder.com/ (quite good, with direct links to the sets and authors' homepages)
http://www.iconarchive.com/ (also quite good)
http://www.findicons.com/ (not as good, but worth a shot)
The easiest approach would be to Google and do a image search for some related term e.g. "no dogs" or "cable tv". You get the idea.
Then simply grab all the icons relevant to your topic.
I like Smashing Magazine as a resource for icons. They have articles linking to high quality resources for icons such as this icon set.
Do a search for Creative Commons Icon Sets, these are free to use with attribution.
Seanau icons is great!
Want to free icons, I'm recommend Iconsfind.com

for now, i'm using WMD for my site, but lately i've been needing to work on its code, and the supplied code is near impossible to read, due to code obscurity (no tabs, var names such as _1, _2 etc). now, i assume that code has a non-obscured version, but its nowhere to be found. (for example, i need to be able to supply RTL support, and to fix some bugs)
i've found WYMeditor, but thats JQ, and my site works with Mootools (i know they can play nicely together, but thats loosing the light part)
any suggestions?
The stack-overflow team reverse-engineered the WMD code back into non-obfuscated form to make changes; you should email them directly and ask about it - the link's at the bottom of every SO page.
