G-day Mates,
I'm building my first site using a fluid layout, and I want the site to render
properly in
800X600, but I've noticed some extremely well-crafted standards-based sites
designed using liquid
layouts that generate a horizontal scroll bar in 800X600.
A few examples:

Therefore I'm very curious as to what the general concensus is
from my fellow standards advocates when designing sites using liguid
layouts?
Truely liquid layouts will look fine at any resolution. Your
examples are not liquid layouts. Your first and last examples use
fixed widths, and the middle
Hi Kenny,
You're right, I made an assumption that because they stretched across the
entire viewport in
1024X768 then the authors used fluid layouts, which was a mistake on my part,
and next time I'll
be sure to check their CSS, but it still makes my ask why they ignored 800X600.
Anyway, thanks
Resolution for Fluid Layouts

and also that no designer in the world that does graphic design is going
to have a 800x600 monitor resolution
I still can't get this implication between resolution (2560x1024 in my
case) and the size of viewport in browser (max. 900-1000px wide in my
case) - see

I don't like it, but its true.
For the number of years I've been building sites (over 6 years full time)
I'm struggling to remember ever seeing a client or user (as opposed to a
