"It's amazing as to the amount of time and effort that people put into making plug-ins, filters, actions, brushes and such and then make them available to whomever wants them at no cost. All of the following are the "best of the best" and each one has received the highest rating from Adobe, and they are all free. I do not think that there are many items out there, that you have to pay for, that are better than the following... "
Gorgeous free background patterns for websites (or desktops)!
"4 Poor Attention Span<br /> I am always amazed at the number of people that mention to me that their attention span is poor. Frequently they will wonder if they have ADD. Sometimes they will even complain about the inability to stay awake during long meetings or stay focuses on non-computer tasks." The bit about the attention span was very interesting to me - that describes me exactly. I find it hard to concentrate or keep my attention to non-multi tasking things and a lot of non-computer things - glad to read it's nothing serious!
"Can I make a suggestion? Let's all stop using the phrase "user-generated content." I'm serious. It's a despicable, terrible term. Let's deconstruct it."

"The menu is just a simple unordered list with the ID set as “menu”. Each sub-level of the menu is another unordered list within the parents list item. You can create as many levels as your heart desires, as the javascript we’ll write in the next step can handle this." Very nice multi-level CSS menu!
"So I was recently playing around with a couple of navigation treatments that I've seen - Simplebits' MiniTabs and SlayerOffice's Focus Slide. And I came up with a navigation "mash-up" of the two. I'm calling it the Mini-Slide Navigation (my blog post permalink...leave comments here)." Nice menu!
"Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) give Web developers precise control over a page’s typography and layout. One secret weapon of CSS-based designs is the background property, which adds images and color to the background of any element on a Web page.<br /> <br /> <br /> It opens up a creative toolbox for styling links, bulleted lists, and more. Unlike HTML, which automatically tiles background images horizontally and vertically—sometimes resulting in a frightening pattern—CSS gives designers precise control over the placement and tiling of background images. For example, you can choose to have a graphic appear only once, tile vertically, or stay put on screen even when the viewer scrolls through the page."

Great for inspiration on how to style those H1 and H2 tags!
"For a lot of folks, writing a proposal is often wrought with angst. Where to start? What to include? Don’t sweat it. You’ve come to the right place. I’m going to walk you through the process so you’ll be whipping out potent proposals that close the big deals."

Great-looking site to help optimize your stylesheet!
"After messing with script.aculo.us’s JS for a while I figured out just what I was looking for. A variable fixed-width layout. The specifications included<br /> A handle on a track which could be dragged by the user to shrink or expand the layout width.<br /> A minimum and maximum layout width.<br /> A way to remember the user’s settings last time they were here so they didn’t have to keep on changing the width.<br /> A non-breaking layout." Interesting idea!
"I’ve created a hybrid using JavaScript and CSS, keeping a static main design yet also offering additional content without scrolling for widescreen users. This allows graphic designers to work within a fixed space for maximum control, but also utilizes the entirety of the viewable monitor space."
"This tutorial will use a nested unordered list with two levels to create a hierarchical structure where dashed lines will show the dependencies. This could be used a sitemap or visualize a directory."

"event:Selectors allow you to apply an event such as mouseover, mouseout, click, et al using a CSS style syntax. It keeps your layers separated and greatly reduces the amount of code you have to write." This sounds very handy - need to brush up on my Javascript!
"This little morsel was a personal project that I had been working on for quite some time. It started with the idea that I would come up with a development template and once a new project came in, all I would have to do was duplicate the folder and get cracking on the design. It obviously never worked but what came about was a great little XHTML/CSS/PHP template that I thought would make a decent tutorial to pass on." Great beginners tutorial on how to create a XHTML/CSS document!
"This is a very simple DHTML trick that just moves a white div element one pixel to the left and reduces its width by one pixel to reveal a div beneath it with a gradient image set as its background-image. It`s just running on an interval now for the purpose of demonstration, but could easily be tied into something like the Image Load Progress Bar."
"The Aperture Library Spanner is a simple app that will automatically span your library across multiple volumes."
"PhotoRec is file data recovery software designed to recover lost pictures or lost files from digital camera memory (CompactFlash, Memory Stick, SecureDigital, SmartMedia, Microdrive, MMC, USB Memory Drives...), even Hard Disks and CDRom.<br /> PhotoRec is safe to use, it will never attempt to write to the drive or memory support you are about to recover from. Recovered files are instead written in the directory from where you are running the PhotoRec program." Works on both Windows and Mac!
"There are quite a few AJAX demos and examples on the web right now. While these are invaluable to learning AJAX, some people need a bit more information than just a raw piece of code.

"Sanscons is a small spinoff of the Bitcons icon set that allows for CSS-based coloring and framing. The icon design is exactly the same, the only thing missing is a background - allowing you to set it to any color you so desire."
"This library is a simple way to implement tabs on your page using CSS, a little JS, and semantic markup which degrades gracefully on browsers with CSS unavailable or disabled.<br /> <br /> Not only is it easy to use and accessible for screen-readers, but it supports multiple (nested, even) tabsets on the same page and allows users to bookmark the page loading to a specific tab."
"JavaScript tabifier. Automatically create an HTML tab interface." I am going to need this on an upcoming commercial project!
"Among the many things to like about Veerle`s redesign of her blog is the way she does the hover effects for lists of links, such as those in her "approved" section.<br /> <br /> Rather than force others to wade through Veerle`s CSS (wow, that`s quite a style sheet!) I thought it`d be helpful to show how to create this "block hover" effect."

Lots of free graphics and resources for Invision Power Board.
