Hi, I am new to Blueprint CSS and fairly new to front end engineering as 
well. So please forgive my naivety. I have a question which I have not seen 
asked before. I have spent a fair bit of time searching through the archives 
and the web in general.

First, some context: my web application has a basic three column layout. 
This means I have 3 divs : 'span-4', 'span-16', 'span-4 last'. The left hand 
column is a menu. The right hand column is some dynamic content related to 
the center column. (Think the gmail web interface). 

Now, the central 'span-16' works well for most views: it is filled with a 
dynamically generated table. But there are some views which require the 
central column to have a more advanced layout. In other words, some views 
essentially require breaking up that 'span-16' into multiple boxes. 

My question is: is it advisable to change the arrangement of the grid 
through javascript? I still want a 24-column grid which is 950px wide and 
has 10px gutters, but I want to be able to change the configurations of the 
columns dynamically depending on where the user is in the application. I 
would like to do this on the same page so that there are no reloads. Could I 
just 'show' and 'hide' different div's to achieve this effect? I think that 
should be possible, but I am not sure if that is a recommended solution. 

I get the feeling that this kind of requirement is not unique to me, and 
that there must be fairly standard ways of doing it. I would really 
appreciate pointers to these methods if they exist.

If it is not possible, any suggestions on what I should be doing would be 
most welcome!

Thank you,
Apurva
