Is this true? "all of the top CSS designers switched back to fixed
design". I hope not, but if it is true is it because of the
difficulties in creating liquid CSS designs, or is there some other
reason?
Just take the word "all" out of that sentence, as no switching to
anything is followed up by 'all', and it never will be. Lots of trends
around though.
As everything else: these trends goes in waves for a lot of reasons.
- some think "non-fixed" layouts are difficult.
- some choose to take "the easy way out" (whatever that means).
- some get inspired by others, or each other.
- some wants to do something "completely different", which isn't really
possible so they always end up using the same methods as somebody else.
Someone else may notice these similarities, and think they see a trend
in there...
- You can add a few thousands more reasons for whatever "trend" you may
find -- if you like.
Yes, some designers write that they have switched from liquid to fixed
because they find it difficult to create "good" liquid CSS designs.
- Some write that they find it easier to create liquid designs, so they
have switched the other way.
- Some find 'flexible/proportional' designs easier and/or better, so
they have switched.
Personally: I haven't made up my mind either way, so I often use all
methods in one and the same design. However, I'm not a top CSS
designer, so I can get away with it.
Still confused?
Well, it certainly isn't CSS that stands in the way. Must be something
else. I think that may become OT, so better stop here.
