Those familiar with fluid / elastic layouts know that they can be a little more challenging to implement compared to fixed-width layouts. With the advent of wide-screen monitors, one of the biggest advantages of fluid-width layouts is the ability to maximize available space.

It was only a year ago when 1024×768 was still the dominant screen size. However, as of January 2009, 57% of the population are on desktops higher than 1024×768. The number of users still on 1024×768 has declined sharply from 48% of the previous year to a mere 36%. On the other than, the users on widescreen desktop are rapidly growing, thanks in part to marketing by HDTV makers.

  2. Adaptive Content
  3. Images In A Fluid Layout

  6. Text Zooming

She also provides helpful examples and links to all the necessary tools needed to achieve the perfect fluid / elastic layout. With this, designers are armed and ready for the next evolution in layout design.
