Better HTML5 & CSS3 Usage By Detecting Browsers Capabilities With Modernizr
Similar to the IE6 situation, when using HTML5/CSS3 in our websites, it is a good idea to offer non-problematic outputs to web users with older/non-standard browsers.
Modernizr is a JavaScript library that uses feature detection techniques to determine whether or not the current browser is capable of CSS3 and HTML5 features like rgba(), border-radius, CSS Transitions & more.
It enables you to write pseudo-IF/ELSE statements in your CSS &, if wanted, it is possible to wirite conditional statements in JavaScript with the help of a "Modernizr JavaScript object" created.
Also, Modernizr adds support for styling HTML 5 elements. This allows you to use more semantic, forward-looking elements such as
<section>,<header>and<dialog>without having to worry about them not working in Internet Explorer.- Comments | | http://www.modernizr.com/

CSS framework
xCSS is a CSS framework that makes developing complex style structures easier within an object-oriented workflow.
Using xCSS can save a lot of development time by:
- using variables
- having a intuitive overview of the overall CSS structure
- re-using existing style cascades
- & more..
xCSS requires PHP 5 to run & can be configured very quickly by inserting few lines to the webpages + the stylesheet.
The framework is lightweight, can seamlessly integrate into any existing workflow & well-documented which lowers the learning curve.
Also, besides minimizing the CSS overhead, it still keeps (X)HTML attributes semantic.
Requirements: PHP 5
