css grid system where column width is dynamically determined?

Question

Hello,

I have used 960gs to get a first version of some pages going (I am not the designer, but would like to have an approximate layout before handing it to one). It has helped me greatly, but now I am wondering if there is a CSS grid framework where the columns will expand/shrink to make use of all available space in the browser window. Using a 960 pixel top-level container in 960gs, even in my humble 1280-pixel-wide screen there are large empty bands on both sides.

Are there alternative grid systems where I can define a certain column to "grow" if the browser window is larger than expected?

Many thanks!
