I'm not sure what distinction you make between "fluid" and "elastic", so I'll just answer "anything but fixed". Screens are getting both larger and smaller these days, so any fixed width you may choose will either be a narrow strip down a widescreen HD display, a morass of horizontal scrolling on a handheld device, or (more likely) both. Also keep in mind that HTML/CSS presentation is ultimately decided by the browser - the user can disable CSS, apply cusom stylesheets to override your CSS, use a screen reader, etc. - so any "control over the ultimate appearance" that a fixed width may provide is little more than an illusion anyhow. -- Dave Sherohman ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [cs...@lists.css-discuss.org] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ List policies -- http://css-discuss.org/policies.html Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
