Something I find really strange is that a lot of people who put emphasis on
Web Standards suddenly found their way back to non-liquid, 800px, centered
design. I am wondering why that is?
Andreas, there is a long discussion with many comments in some blogs
(I think one of the recent triggers was http://adactio.com/journal/display.php/20050415012704.xml)
i.e. http://www.molly.com/2005/04/16/fixed-versus-liquid-the-beating-goes-on/
and http://www.ellythompson.co.uk/blog/2005/04/25/fixed-width-layout-the-desire-for-pixel-precision/ notes the same for csszengarden
and http://www.456bereastreet.com/archive/200504/about_fluid_and_fixed_width_layouts/ (sorry if I may have missed one's blog).
and I found this answer (Fixed or fluid width? Elastic!) here http://www.456bereastreet.com/archive/200504/fixed_or_fluid_width_elastic/ inspiriting.
