Thanks for the reply, Cutter... It does seem an elegant and efficient way to design, but I've been following discussions on the css-discuss mailing list, and they sure spend a lot of time figuring out design issues.
I'm just wondering if I'll be spending too much time trying to make CSS design behave and not enough time coding CF. I guess there's probably a common set of functional design patterns that work well with all (mostly all) browsers and I could learn what to stay away from... What's been the key for making CSS work well for you in dealing with incompatabilities between browsers? Or does it just seem that there are a lot of issues because the problems are usually the only hot topics that are discussed on lists...

Irie Radio is my first foray into Mach II, and every page contains some dynamic data (much more to come). I've really had to rethink some things structurally to leverage CF with a total CSS layout, but in the end run I'm finding it to be much more flexible from a design standpoint, especially as I modularize my code. Much easier to change and maintain.
