gridBuilder.js demo

gridBuilder.js is a jQuery plugin that draws a grid as a background.

It works via canvas and data-URL, so you need a real browser. It can be applied to any element, the grid is completely customisable, and has options to show secondary gridlines as well.

How to invoke, and the default options of gridBuilder:

$(document).ready(function(){
$("body").gridBuilder({
color: '#eee', // color of the primary gridlines
secondaryColor: '#f9f9f9', // color of the secondary gridlines
vertical: 18, // height of the vertical rhythm
horizontal: 140, // width of horizontal strokes
gutter: 40, // width of the gutter between strokes
});
});

To remove via javascript:

$("body").destroyGrid();

Requires jQuery. Tested in Firefox 3.0, 3.5, Qt-Webkit 4.5 and Opera 9.6. Dual licenced under the MIT and GPL licenses.
