I wouldn't use CSS I would use ASP (or php in my case)
if (condition is met) {
include (layout1.php) //external php file
elseif (other condition is met){
include (layout2.php)
}
where layout 1 and 2 are external asp files
or
This may not be practical if you have loads of layouts..
$layout1= "some HTML";
$layout2 = "some different HTML"
and just print the HTML (variables) in the order you want it.
This sounds like an accident waiting to happen in CSS/Javascript with
browser issues all over the place.
