I am making a site and I want to make it look good in all resoulutions. In most cases, fluidness would be good, but I don't want it to be fluid because the center has to be SO small, and in my resoulution (higher than 1024x800) it looks very messed up. It is a website that people with MANY different resoulutions will visit because it is for my friends and family, about an upcoming advent. Does anyone know how to make it not fluid? thnx!

make seperate sites that are identical in layout and different in size and create a splash page with links to the layouts configured for certain resolution. Use php includes to keep the content the same. use seperate css sheets for each. this allows you to have a uniform feel, but make your layout compatible with any needed resolutions. I have done this, it works well.

I would do that with a site I know that people who know HTML and are good with computers, but my friends from school wont know what a resoulution is or what their resoulution is. Does anyone know a way to keep the center column from being fluid? Thnx!

If you are using pixels to determine the size of your column, try using percentages instead.

You are kind-a asking the same question I am in "Make div's flow like inline img's?" My idea for making a horizontally flexible layouts was to put my content in a series of small div's (they could be small tables too--I am no purist; I am just looking for something that works) which would sit next to eachother if there is horizontal room and drop to the next "row" if there is not.

Unfortunately I have found nothing satisfactory. This is surprising because I thought flexible layouts were the point of CSS. I didn't think what I was imagining was terribly sophisticated since basically I am asking that a series of div's flow like words.
