You may also be looking for max-width rather than width. This will let the content contract to fit a smaller window, but still stop the the right point for the fixed/centered layout on a larger window. You will need to apply hacks/workarounds for IE<7 which don't support max-width (see http://www.svendtofte.com/code/max_width_in_ie/ for one method).
