Takes regular text and turns it into 1px sized divs. That’s right, the div’s actually form the pixels of each letter! :D Awesome, right!? Check it out!

jsTexty Example

How’s it done? Easy:
* Get the text of an element
* Move through it, 1 character at a time
* Match the character with a pattern (currently only supports lowercase)
* Convert the pattern to markup
* Replace the text with excessive amounts of html :D 

$(document).ready(function() {
    var jsTexty = {};
 
    jsTexty.Make = function(e) {
        var strLetterString = $(e).text();
        var strReplaceHtml = '';
 
        for(var i = 0; i<strLetterString.length; i++) {
            var strThisLetter = strLetterString.substr(i,1);
            var arrLetterCode = jsTexty.GetLetterCode(strThisLetter);
                strReplaceHtml += jsTexty.LetterCodeToHtml(arrLetterCode);
        }
 
        $(e).html(strReplaceHtml + '<div class="clear"></div>');
    };
 
    jsTexty.LetterCodeToHtml = function(arrLetterCode) {
        var strReplaceHtml = '<div class="lbBlock">';
        for(var i = 0; i<arrLetterCode.length; i++) {
            var strThisRow = arrLetterCode[i];
            for(var j = 0; j<strThisRow; j++) {
                var strThisLetterBlock = strThisRow.substr(j,1);
                if(strThisLetterBlock==='1') {
                    strReplaceHtml += '<div class="lbSolid"></div>';
                }
                if(strThisLetterBlock==='0') {
                    strReplaceHtml += '<div class="lbEmpty"></div>';
                }
            }
            strReplaceHtml+='<div class="clear"></div>';
        }
        return strReplaceHtml + '</div>';
    }

After getting started with it, I very quickly noticed that, while easy and efficient, it has a flaw. You absolutely can NOT extend your elements to end after a margin, touching the next grid element. And so, one becomes effectively shackled to having margins between any horizontally placed grid elements.

Here’s a quick Mod that I wrote that will allow you to negate that problem, without modifying the 960gs CSS itself. Also, it is important to note, that while this does allow you to push your grid class over the margin, you still can’t pull the next element back. Still, another mod could be written using the same flavor to accomplish that as well.

So, without further adieu, here it is:

960.overExtend.css

/*
 
Modifies the 960gs to allow elements to carry over
into the margins, so that they may snugly touch
the next grid over. Simply use the appropriate grid,
as you normally would, and then attach the additional
overExtend class to it, to make it over extend into
the margin. 
 
Example:
 
<div id="myContainer" class="grid_5 grid_5_overExtend">
...
</div>
 
*/
 
/* Margin Mod 12 Col */
.container_12 .grid_1_overExtend { width:80px !important; margin-right:-10px !important; }
.container_12 .grid_2_overExtend { width:160px !important; margin-right:-10px !important; }
.container_12 .grid_3_overExtend { width:240px !important; margin-right:-10px !important; }
.container_12 .grid_4_overExtend { width:320px !important; margin-right:-10px !important; }
