Re: define "liquid design"

Thanx. I have been given a design that's being defined as liquid. However, it starts at a fixed width for an 800x600 screen, then becomes larger when you increase the font size, not when viewed with a larger resolution screen. I was trying to find something that supported my assertion that that's not really liquid design.

Any and all suggestions, comments, etc. are appreciated.
