Grid: a javascript bookmarklet

I’ve been using Grid for the past week and I have to say it’s a pretty nifty tool. It basically allows me to build and overlay a custom grid system on any website.

Recently I’ve been building my own tileable background images and grid layouts, then applying them using CSS. But using Grid is quite a bit speedier.

The only issue I’ve come across is Grid’s inability to stay active upon refresh. Unfortunately it needs to be turned on after every new page request.

Another alternative is found in this great article by Chris Coyier:
