[thelist] Liquidity

[Mark Gregor]

I'm sure they'll be a flurry of responses to this one, but here goes:

A liquid site essentially auto sizes the page design and content to fit the
size of the browser.  It traditionally uses tables with cells defined as
percentages of the browser rather than fixed pixel widths.

A liquid site would be http://www.water.com/ while http://www.ice.com/ is
"ice" (everything is fixed width..nothing changes when you resize your
browser) and http://www.middle.com is "jello" (the content floats in the
middle of the page regardless of your browser size).

I think the terms liquid, ice, and jello were coined by our friends at
projectcool.com.

Anyway, that's the scoop!  Oh, and liquid is usually better, jello is ok,
and ice is so 1998.
