Instant Polaroid Effect to Your Pictures With Javascript

This is pure awesomeness. Instant.js is an 8.5 kb javascript file (uncompressed, you can shrink it down to around 5 kb) which adds on the fly a "Polaroid Effect" to your pictures (white frame, light curl and a drop shadow).

Don't know about the software itself, but the features page has an interesting layout where you drag a screenshot into an…

CSS3 Multi Columns : a CSS3 behavior made possible with javascript, allowing to flow content of an element into multiple columns. Looks pretty cool, I wonder how usable and reliable this is. (Via i-Marco)

Cross Site Scripting : Skinning Flickr with MSIE

Having some fun with hidden javascript

Noteworthy trick I'll have to use in my next (elastic) design : Liquid Image, an image that adapts itself to browser's window size. CSS with a javascript one-liner enhancement.
