There are pro's and cons with fixed width design. Fixed width can make things a lot more readable as you don't have excessively long lines to read on computers with hi-res screens. A lot of people do find this is true. On the other hand for a site involving a lot of code snippets, you will have a lot of <code> and / or <pre> blocks that have code that need to be non wrap-able and monospace fonts, so liquid layouts are a bonus there, as these code snippets can often break a fixed width design.
Of course we really should keep our code snippets reasonably narrow for the same reasons, but I doubt we can actually get buy-in and disciplined attention from everyone who's writing docs. -- Dave Abrahams Boost Consulting www.boost-consulting.com
