boxLayout: A Simple jQuery Layout Plugin

I’m not a web designer by any stretch of the imagination, but sometimes I have to pretend to be one. In a (forthcoming) project, I was looking for a way to divide up the available space within a window amongst various div elements, in a (buzzword bingo!) “responsive design” way. I got frustrated with the complexity of various layout tools I tried, and rolled my own.

It’s ridiculously simple and (being written by someone with very little JavaScript and jQuery experience) may be buggy, but it’s just the thing for the task I was trying to accomplish. It’s yours for free after the break if you have a use for it.
