Doubletake : jQuery plugin for responsive images
Doubletake dynamically updates the src of your images based on the browser width. Start with a small, mobile-friendly image in your HTML. Doubletake will use a defined set of breakpoints to update image SRCs when necessary.
I’m using a couple of tools to help me resize the images on this page – a local copy of SLIR and the src.sencha.io web service. If you aren’t comfortable resizing images on the fly, you could simply host multiple copies and then set the Doubletake breakpoints to the sizes you have created.
jQuery responsive web
It is a simple jquery plugin helping design more responsive and adaptive websites and web applications with almost no setup.It adds dynamic classes to the <body> depending on the operating system, browser and resolution.For ideal responsive web design css is just not enough. it chokes at some point, or has cross-browser and cross-platform issues much more than the wonderful jquery framework.
I have tried it with microsoft internet explorer v7 and v8, firefox, google chrome, safari, opera on windows, and also with an android device. works perfectly on all of them. on the android device (samsung galaxy s) handles the orientation change nicely too.
jMapping : jQuery plugin for creating Google Maps from semantic markup
This plugin is designed for quick development of a page that implements a Google Map with a list of the locations that are specified within the HTML.
The plugin tries to allow as much graceful degradation as possible by having the HTML be as semantic as possible. The plugin expect the HTML for the locations to be grouped under a common element. Additionally, it expects the links and Map Info Window content to be grouped under the location elements. It also expects the necessary metadata to be on the location element. This way the HTML semantically reflects that all of those parts and information are associated with the specific location or place.
