Full Width Textareas
Working with textarea widths can be painful if you want the textarea to span 100% width. Why painful? Because if the textarea's containing element has padding, your "width:100%" textarea will likely stretch outside of the parent container -- a frustrating prospect to say the least. Luckily there's a quick CSS solution to this problem!
The CSS
box-sizing to the rescue!
textarea {
-webkit-box-sizing: border-box;
-moz-box-sizing: border-box;
box-sizing: border-box;
width: 100%;
}
Setting the box-sizing to border-box allows the textarea to respect its parent container's padding and border, recalculating what 100% actually means. If the box-sizing were content-box, the textarea would continue to stretch outside the parent container as it would have before.

Adding "Next" and "Previous" controls.

My favorite technological piece of Google Plus is its image upload and display handling. You can drag the images from your OS right into a browser's DIV element, the images upload right before your eyes, and the albums page displays a sexy photo deck animation...

Helps tremendously with mobile development as well and calculation of % width when utilizing this box-sizing.
