Progressive Layout, Web Design, PRO.HTML.IT
I think that probably the debate on Fixed against liquid will never find a definitive word. But now perhaps there’s another option: the Progressive Layout. In this article, that is a small extract from the Italian version, we’ll see how to easily turn with Javascript a CSS-based layout (fixed or fluid doesn’t matter) into a progressive one.
Progressive layout combines the advantages of both fixed and fluid layout: it’s a fixed layout under and over certain resolutions, but it’s fluid between. In the liquid stage the layout is quite different from the classic fluid layout, since the width and the margins of the layout vary accordingly to the browser width.
