Showcase of Outstanding Responsive Web Designs

This showcase rounds up a collection of the most inspiring and outstanding examples of responsive web design. These websites not only look great at full scale monitor resolution, but are designed to gracefully scale according to the user’s screen size. Resize you browser, view the site on a smartphone, tablet or netbook and you’ll see the same design in a range of well presented formats. Websites are no longer viewed only on a computer monitor. Smartphones, tablets and netbooks throw a range of resolutions and different screen sizes into the mix for designers to now worry about. The idea of catering for various resolutions isn’t anything new. Ready for some examples?

Modal Windows Creating a popup window is reasonably easy if you just want another browser window of a specified size and you don't care if your visitors swap back and forward between the various browser windows. Where it becomes difficult (if not impossible) is where you want the new window to stay in front of the original window and not allow your visitor to interact with the original window until the new window has closed. We call a window that insists on retaining the focus like this a modal window. The difficulty is that JavaScript does not have a standard way of creating a modal popup window the way it has a standard way to create an ordinary (modeless) window by using window.open(). A number of browsers (for example Netscape 4 or any version of Opera up to and including version 9) do not allow you to make a popup window modal at all. There are two groups of browsers that do allow you to create modal windows and each uses a different method to do so.
