I was contemplating writing a UI toolkit where setting the position and size of an element/widget was intuitive and powerful. Here are some examples of how it would be used (not currently implemented):
ui("Panel").size(". 40").pos("0 0").attach(element);
ui("Textarea").size(". %-10").pos("0 40").attach(element);
ui("Panel").size(". 10").pos("0 bottom+5");
Where . means auto, % means 100% and the possibility to add pixels to percentages.
Does anything like said exist (even as a jQuery plugin or something)? Somethings just aren't possible with pure CSS.
