If you want to see a true liquid web page take a look at the http:\\goldpanner.ca web site. First, pages automatically adjusts to a visitors screen resolution (800 - 1280). Then, if a browser window is less than 800 px wide, the text and graphic elements automatically resize to fit the space. ( this is not simple text reflowing - but true page resizing )
It's funny when the page is narrow (and I do that sometimes) instead of being readable it becomes so teeny the page is worthless. I think in their effort to be truly liquid they threw the baby out with the bathwater!
fryman; This technique depends on heavy Javascript coding (in fact there is very little traditional HTML code used). The pages and all content are build and rebuilt as they are opened or changed. And like sarahk say's, when the pages are resized too small they become unreadable. But then, if your browser screen was that small for a normal page, you'd see very little of the content. To see more you'd have to do lots of scrolling. This way you get to see the whole page and if something catches your eye you can resize the page large enough to read the content. In reality, I don't think many people would be surfing the web with their browser windows so small that they couldn't read the content.
Neat idea. I would never use it, though - there're too many folks out there who disable JS. This website comes back as an empty page in this case. Those who have small screen can simply adjust their font size. You can also do this with CSS - just set font-size to 8pt and the rest of a well-designed page will follow. Take this page for example: http://devedge-temp.mozilla.org/index_en.html If JS is enabled, you can change font size and some other properties (see in the top right corner). If JS is disbled, you can still navigate the website. J.D.
