fluid vs fixed width?

ps. Safari and Firefox support min/max width lengths in CSS, but Win/IE does not, so that's why you don't see it used often. Shame on Microsoft.

Actually, Win/IE supports min-width, as it's width implementation is buggy, and it doesn't support max-width/width

imo fixed width is lazy design. A good design will be able to stretch to fit a reasonable range of monitor sizes as well as accomodate resizing of text sizes (for accessibility reasons).

Just because stretches to fit the screen doesn't mean it's easy to read. Don't forget that. Long lines of text are much harder to read, and that is why fixed width still has a prevalent place in today's web.

Exactly what I said earlier in the thread.

Excessive line lengths = bad design.
