I guess the same can be done with <div>... But the main problem is
that there's no real standard for resolution. I see people having
resolution set at 800x600, and 1600x200, how is it ever possible to
make a page look good at both? Resizing it to 1600x1200 would give you
an enormous page, while keeping it at 800 width makes it so damn
small. So lets say you re size it to 1024 width, then you still have
such damn borders on both sides. That doesn't look nice either. And
how would you do deal with pages that have a layout based on pictures?
Should you create a header that is 1600 width, and resize it down
until 800 when a user with 800x600 visits? and all images used at
borders and corners? That's the biggest problem in dynamic layouts.
Atm, i repeat small images around the borders, but that's a real pain
in the ass. For now, i mostly design static pages, that are best
viewable with 1024x768, and resolutions higher then that have those
damn borders... If sombody has a better way, i'd like to hear :)

If you use css and em's properly, it doesn't make any difference what
the user's monitor size is.
For example, look at this:
http://earthstones.com/
That's my wife's site and I based the entire site on em's -- as explained here:
http://sperling.com/examples/zoom/
IMO, static sites don't use the medium well -- the web is not print.

PS: I'm redoing her site -- it's dated.
