I've got a bit of a bear of a project on my hands.  The basic premise is 
that there is a series of (equal sized) boxes, each of which contains text 
or photos - when you hover over each box you get a different interior color 
and different words or pictures inside.  The major issue is that the people 
who will be using this want to be able to dynamically select all of the 
content and appearance of content for each of these boxes.

This is my list of challenges:
  1.. Create each box in a row with a solid border and an interior that 
rolls over to another color (done)
  2.. Use a variety of fonts and colors for text on the normal state of the 
boxes - possibly OK: because I'm using the a tag to define the block for the 
hover, I'm using a <span> to allow for the different font definitions.But 
apparently the people who will use this want to be able to go in via wysiwyg 
and change fonts dynamically so I don't know what possibilities exist for 
their messing up other code.
  3.. Change font when the hover occurs - problem:I'm not sure how to 
override the <span> definition for the font?
  4.. Here is the real problem: The entire content needs to change when the 
hover occurs. I presume I need to use a hidden definition plus some 
javascript to display it-- but the page needs to be dynamic so that users 
can pick and choose what boxes and what hidden answers they have for each 
area. I'm just not seeing how this can be done.
  5.. Create drop shadow (either through CSS or by using a graphic border --  
not worried about that yet)
I woke up this morning wondering if this can be done at all - and thinking 
it woudl be smarter to just use graphics for the whole thing, esp. since the 
original font choices are non standard and so the whole look for the site 
will change significantly when using standard fonts....  Am very interested 
in thoughts adn/or examples of similarly excecuted sites.
