Thanks Wayne,

I am still sort of new to this css stuff,  but from what I have read it looks very interesting to use in a layout system....I am going to get a book to understand it more.  

I still have concerns on compatability issues, but I think that both osc and css layout systems could co-exist, sort of use the standard layout osc provides for browsers which do not support the more advanced features, and css for all others.

this is straight forward enough.....can more then one css file be used at the same time?  by doing this, it might be easier to modularize the whole layout system, this would enable lots of variety...I also want to have a point and clic installation system built for installing different parts to the layouts....

So for example a shop owner wants the page to look one way, and the boxes to look another.....the admin tool will allow for this with point and click....

do you mean the way osc links in the css sheet in the header tag area?  Does the css always need to be called in from this area or can it (if more then one is permissable) be done anywhere prior to where it is used in the layout?

cheers and thanks.
