    I am considering using a css framework and was wondering if any body has experience of using them and maybe a few pros and cons

    I have used 960.gs and Blueprint CSS grids and prefer 960 more as it feels lightweight.

    Note i am a coder so i have to work on the framework which the designer has designed upon, if you are going to design something from scratch then 1kb Grid lets you define your own columns etc.

    I agree with markupdude, 960gs and 1kbgrid are very nice.
    However, I'm using my own framework now. :)

    I am thinking in terms of time really, just a quickhead start. Maybe its worth spending time designing my own framework. Thanks for the advice people

    My advice - don't even go down that road of asshattery since CSS frameworks inherently rely on presentational classes defeating the entire POINT of using CSS in the first damned place. The people advocating that bullshit need to be dragged around back of the woodshed with a 30-06.

    The moment you start using classes like this:
    <div class="span-24 center box">

    You are so far down the road of /FAIL/ you may as well do the rest of us a favor, back the **** away from the keyboard and take up something less detail oriented like macramé weaving.

    Javascript frameworks like that jquery malarkey often suffer the same fate being equal amounts of rubbish and /FAIL/... Much less combined libraries like YUI which are such utter trash it's hard to fathom why anyone would waste time (and bandwidth) on them in the first place.
