Re: [css-d] What's the official/technical name of...

[Micky Hulse]

Interesting:



Chapter 6 example "liquid-fixed_threecol.html" (exactly the type of
layout I'm wanting to classify), she calls it "liquid fixed". I don't
have the book, so I can't confirm anything, but that's the name of the
demo file.

Thanks again to everyone for the help and links, it's been very informative. :)

Brilliantly summed up, Angela — a perfectly succinct analysis. Semantics
catered for, as a bonus for the philosophers out there!

Re: [css-d] What's the official/technical name of...

[Angela French]

I prefer fluid.
Fluid: something  that is capable of flowing and that changes its shape at a 
steady rate when acted upon by a force tending to change its shape.
Liquid: state of matter with a definite volume but no fixed shape.

Re: [css-d] What's the official/technical name of...

[Norman Fournier]

There is a difference of meaning between fluid and liquid. Fluid is a better 
descriptor for this in my opinion.

Thanks!

This is pretty much the layout I'm talking about (visually):



I'm just looking for a way to classify some CSS that I'm working on.
Liquid seems to be what most people call it (at least, liquid is in
the name).

Much appreciated!

Cheers,
Micky

The names given to the various layouts on this site makes sense [1]. I have
mo idea whatsoever regarding an "official" definition...
