Fixed,Elastic,Liquid, or Hybrid ??

[Kenny]

In dream weaver cs4 when you first start building a site you have the option to use Fixed,Elastic,Liquid, or Hybrid I have looked over all the documentation and understand a little about what each one does, but don't understand which one I should I use and what or the pluses and minuses of each one. Any input will be thanked.

Kenny, I think everyone starting out asks themselves this question. You'll flirt with each, and most likely, as I have and most others, end up just making all your sites a fixed width - it's a hell of a lot easier.

I agree with Eric. Fluid, elastic, call them what you will, effect the layout based on browser width.

 

You are in control with fixed width.

 

I am also a fan of centered fixed with as left aligned sites leave a massive right gutter, a seemingly imbalanced appearance. Just my 2 cents.
