Metal Grid is another responsive CSS grid that hopes to be easy to use and hopefully grow with help from the community.
It is my intention to use this grid for building responsive sites really fast. For now the grid.css is under ~6Kb uncompressed and was build so it's easily modifiable by you.
The grid was inspired mostly by two of the well known CSS grids:
Unfortunately there is no way(that I know) to build a semantically correct grid so please take the code and use to build your own CSS structure.
Kudos to all people and resources that inspired me, one way or the other:
Just make sure you understand the class system and how they are resized based on the screen resolution.
Go ahead, resize the browser.
You can easily configure the columns widths based on the screen resolution. Just check the @media screen code in the grid.css file.
View grid.css
More flexibility added by using un-equal columns. The columns can be easily configured to morph from one size to another.
Resize the browser and check the last 5 rows of the demo
Easily configure how the grid will resize and morph at different screen resolutions.
Just modify or add code in the grid.css
Additional to the 12, 6, 4, 3, 2, 1 columns you can use the .extraFive class to create a 5 column grid.
Now you can use a grid inside another grid. Two new classe were intoduced to make this possible: .isGrid and .hasGrid

TGIG plugin allows you to create grids from html tables. The plugin parses the html, finds all the tables without id, class and border and replaces them with the appropriate divs to make a grid.
See table-grid-in-grid/tgig-evolution.php file for details.

The grid was tested in Firefox, Chrome, Safari and IE9. If you want to support media queries in IE8 and below I recommend using a javascript solution. A simpler solution for IE8 and below would be to set a fixed width on the container.
Tested on iPhone and iPad. Should work as expected on Android and Blackberry devices or any other type of devices that use a modern browser.
To start your project you only need to add the grid.css file to your project. The demos use normalize.css and a basic style file demo.css
Please download on github, test and contribute.
