Liquid layout made with images...can it be done?

Hi!

I was wondering is it possible to do a liquid layout with images. I´m asking this
because if i made a nice layout with dropdown shadows surrounding the layout and wanted to make it liquid. I experimented yesterday a bit and got the header and footer done nicely, but the content area was the problem. How can i make the content area to strech vertically and horizontally if the text goes beyond the screen. I can post a link to the experiment later in the evening.

But i was wonderin if it could be done.

Hope you got my idea.

Thanks in advance.

 

You just don't use a fixed width I think.

 

It's not exactly rocket scientry - what you'll likely want to look into is called 'sliding doors'...

Take my "8 corners under one roof" as an example:

I code ALL of my layouts as dynamic width FIRST - if the client is a ****tard that demands fixed width, I just lock the width of my outermost DIV... if I want semi-fluid, I just set up min/max - if I want switchy, I just toss switchy on it.

 

Are liquid layouts a better way to go??

 

They can be better. So can fixed ones.

Depends what your making really.

 

can you give me an example when you would want to use one or the other?

 

Well I have just had a layout designed for my website. It is half and half. Half liquid and half fixed.

I cannot show it you yet however.

 

Depending on the layout (i.e. the images your looking to use to make it) it is possible.

 

give me an idea...Thanks guys

 

Hey thanks, Deathshadow! Looks good. I´ll have to try it!
