Uniform jQuery Plugin helps you to style HTML form controls like checkboxes, drop down menus, radio buttons, and file upload inputs and make them look how you want them to.

Uniform masks your standard HTML form controls with custom themed controls. It works in sync with your real form elements to ensure accessibility and compatibility.

The controls are theme-able and users can design their own theme with theme kit and create most of the code you’ll need using custom theme generator.

It works in all modern browsers and degrades gracefully in IE6.

While writing CSS for your websites and applications, you simply needs to add a single line to add CSS3 support for Internet Explorer (IE).

Sprockets, an open source ruby library (for Prototype / Scriptaculous) that takes multiple JavaScript files and concatenates them into a single file.

Concatenating your site’s JavaScript means:

• All your source code is cached in the browser on the first hit
• It reduces the number of HTTP requests necessary to load a single page

Users can organize their separate JavaScript source files into directories during development and can add as many comments as they want—they’ll be stripped from the resulting concatenated output automatically.

Every search engine likes a fast loading website and this open source ruby library helps users to achieve desired search engine rankings.

Sprockets is written in Ruby and has no run time dependencies apart from the Ruby standard library.
