fluid web sites?
Hey everyone,
How do you make graphics fluid, I want to create a web page layout, with some boxes that are fluid, when dynamic code is placed into them their shaped can expand without distorting the box.
Does anyone have any resources I can check out so I can do this.
I used adobe image ready and fireworks mx to make my layouts.

Depends if you want to go with a standards site or 'orrible tables based one (unbiased view
). Since you're using image ready, you'll prolly want a tables based one, which leave only one question, which way dya want it to expand?

Can I ask what 'fluid' means? I'm only assuming that it has to do with images being designed to handle sites at multiple resolutions (like fluid, it fits the form of its container)
If not, someone please enlighten me. Thx.

Ok,
For example - http://bayportflowers.com/bayportflower/default.htm
the tables on the left - shop online and specials
the specials box is able to contract and expand with different sized pictures - how do you do that?
set the tables to percentages? or use background images?

Dynamic = fluid
Static = solid

No.
Dynamic = content loaded via a database
Static = content hard-coded into the page
That's nothing to do with whether a site is fluid or not. A site can be fluid in design and have the content hard-coded into each page just as much as a site can be a fixed size and have the content pulled from a database.Saz: Naturally Blonde, Naturally Dizzy!

When web developers talk about dynamic websites, they mean those which have their content pulled from a database, so if you tell people that a fluid site is another name for a dynamic one, then they see people talking about building a dynamic site, they're going to get the wrong end of the stick.
I corrected what you said to save this confusion.Saz: Naturally Blonde, Naturally Dizzy!
