Saugus.net: fixed width As applied to a font, fixed width means that every character takes up the same amount of space. The most common fixed width font is Courier. That is, an "i" will be just as wide as an "m" with empty space being used for padding. www.saugus.net /Computer/Terms/fixedwidth/view

Fixed width clagnut/blog Interesting that recently Stopdesign and Simplebits have both subtly redesigned to be fixed width – moving away from their previous liquid designs. Fixed versus liquid design is an emotive debate. Since the Web is not designed to be viewed on one fixed hardware spec, it does not make sense to design for a “fixed” viewport. www.clagnut.com /blog/267

Fixed-Width Web Pages To solve this problem, web designers are creating pages that have shorter line lengths by creating pages that have fixed widths; the designers control the line length by specifying particular widths for the pages. Historically, web pages have been of variable width so the browsers could adapt them to the size and resolution of the monitors. Because the width of the page is smaller than the resolution of the monitor, there are left and right margins on the page. www.shire.net /learnwebdesign/margins1.htm

PAGE DESIGN: Fixed versus flexible Another approach is to specify cell widths using percentage values; for example, set the left scan column width to 40 percent and the main text column width to 60 percent. You can avoid the "wasteland" effect of a fixed layout by centering the table in the browser window or by designing a background graphic to fill the empty areas of the screen. Designing in a stable environment means that you can fix the position of elements on the page and control typographic features such as line length and spacing. www.webstyleguide.com /page/fixed-flex.html

Liquid vs. Fixed » Whitespace Liquid vs. Fixed width layouts is one of those holy war type discussions that designers always seem to get into at one time or another. Fixed can look nice, but on a 1600x1200 res sometimes the "empty space" takes over. Why do you think most of the sites (all of them at the moment) in the CSSVault are fixed? www.9rules.com /whitespace/design/liquid_vs_fixed.php

Fixed Width vs. Liquid Layout - Your Take Fixed width designs work only in one single screen size and resolution. Fixed Width vs. Liquid Layout - Your Take Once I’d moved on from layout via tables I quickly saw the benefits of liquid designs but Dris makes a very good point in his first paragraph and having experimented with fixed width sites recently I can see a case for them although a mixture of fixed and liquid would probably work better. www.7nights.com /asterisk/archives/fixed_width_vs_liquid_layout_your_take.php

Stopdesign On Fixed vs. Liquid Design Doug, I think the best idea is to set up a fixed width site using max-width like you mentioned, and to also let the user choose between fixed or liquid with a stylesheet switcher. For news, marketing, advertising and other mass communication, fixed width is a no-brainer because you want as many people as possible to be interested in your content. Fixed vs Liquid may be a very applicable argument when creating a website where words are the main commodity but what about those sites which are image-heavy? www.stopdesign.com /log/2003/12/15/fixedorliquid.html

3 Column Layout - any order, fixed-width or liquid flanking columns, liquid header, full-width footer, absolutely positioned The width of the longest column is calculated automatically. Worse, I overlooked/forgot the fact that subtle changes to the html are required (and made) for the different orderings depending on which column is flagged as longest. Even though the fixes should be relatively trivial. www.fu2k.org /alex/css/layouts/3Col_OrderedAbsolute.mhtml

Text Import, Fixed Width Fixed width file formats are 'padded' with spaces between the columns. The fields are identified as a count of positions/characters from the start (leftmost) position on the line. www.bankreconciliation.com /Help/Text_Import,_Fixed_Width.htm

Fixed vs. Fluid - HTML Dog Blog - HTML Dog Fixed layouts, where the content area has a fixed width can be used to narrow the column in which content is presented, which is easier to read, just like columns in newspapers. For instance, my own home page uses fixed widths and does not accommodate increasing text size at all well, but is eye catching and graphically intensive. Fixed layouts however, offer a format that is initially easier to read but presents the problems of the increased likelihood of scrolling. www.htmldog.com /ptg/archives/000012.php

Designing Professional Good Looking Web Sites for All Screen Resolutions - Stretch or Fixed width layouts If you like the fixed width concept or are forced to have a fixed width (especially when using curved graphics like in our Template 7) you can give a contrasting background color and/or a shadow effect/border to the table to make it stand out. For Netscape compatibility, the content area cell is given 99% width (this just makes sure all unfilled area is taken up by the content) and at least one cell in the fixed width columns have an image or spacer image with the given width. After the outer most table is given the width in percentage all inside cells should be given fixed widths in pixels except the content cell. www.smartwebby.com /web_site_design/advanced_web_design.asp

CSS layout: Bordered 3 col fixed width with header and footer CSS layout: Bordered 3 col fixed width with header and footer It is important that all three columns, not only the center one, pushes the footer down. The all three columns should be surrounded by a border, like in this example image. www.bewb.org /stuff/3colwithborder.html

Photo Matt » Death of Flexible Width Designs Fixed width really isn’t the evil we thought it was (I first read about fluid layouts in an issue of MacWorld). Fixed widths are SO much easier to design for, but that’s not the point. Interesting… Just as all this new hubbub about fluid designs came up, I was switching back to fixed width design (from a long binge of fluid). www.photomatt.net /archives/2003/12/11/death-of-flexible-width-designs

Official XOOPS Website - Support Forums - XOOPS.org Members Lounge - Fixed width vs. Dynamic: Your pref.? Fixed width is only usefull if the site contains a very specific layout and design and/or very little actually information. Fixed width is OK for brochure sites that don't change much, though I still try to avoid it. A fixed width however (IMO) is not particularly pleasing for things such as forums, which are so text heavy....and the core of many a site...and this would probably mean not having the right side blocks displayed... www.xoops.org /modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=17045&forum=3&post_id=72178

Fixed-Width Files Therefore, the "width" of each column of data is the same: 9 for the first column (positions 1-9), 4 for the second (10-13), and 7 for the third (14-20); hence the name fixed-width format. This program assumes you have a TAB-delimited text file as input and produces a text file that is fixed-width in nature. Alternatively, instead of the width of each field, you must know the start position and end position of each field of the output file. www.uno.edu /~ucc/howto/misc/editors/Fixed-width.htm

notestips.com :: The benefits of a fixed width design I think the solution is 'variable fixed width' where all 'liquid' elements are sized off the base font size (eg 40em for a column)... The reality is a fixed width design will get someone's panties in a bunch, but then again, so will liquid design. So I designed a fixed width site, similar to the proposed site design, and have had very positive feedback. www.notestips.com /80256B3A007F2692/1/TAIO-5TT34F

The Great Fixed Vs Relative Table Width Debate (Web Design Issues) (thesitewizard.com) If you were to create a fixed width table, that table will retain its proportion regardless of the visitor's screen resolution. Visit any web design newsgroups or any of the web authoring guides on the web and you will probably encounter a large number of people proclaiming the evils of having a fixed table width and recommending that you use relative table widths for your tables. At the time of this writing, the pages on thesitewizard.com were constructed with relative widths. www.thesitewizard.com /archive/fixedvsrelative.shtml

All Things Web: Reader-Friendly Layout Techniques Still, it's possible to minimize the accessibility "hit" inherent in every tables-based page design. One possible application of this technique is in creating invisible "gutters " within multi-column tables. For a table N columns wide, fix no more than N-1 columns. www.pantos.org /atw/35477.html

Elfring Fonts Fixed Width Fonts You can order the Fixed Width font set on CD-ROM along with one to five of our other font sets at greatly reduced prices. This set includes 30 fixed width (monospaced) soft fonts. www.elfring.com /fixed.htm

Visual formatting model details Specifies a fixed minimum or maximum computed width. If 'width' is set to 'auto', any other 'auto' values become '0' and 'width' follows from the resulting equality. (If the border style is 'none', use '0' as the border width.) If all of the above have a specified value other than 'auto', the values are said to be "over-constrained" and one of the computed values will have to be different from its specified value. www.w3.org /TR/REC-CSS2/visudet.html

Netscape and Fixed Width Div's I managed to fix the fixed width problem by removed the container div and forcing the tab divs to block, it made them constant width. The tab div's are staggered with dropdown menus of absolute posistioning The problem is that I need to have each div tag fixed to a width coming out of a database My question has to do with fixed width, but on a much simpler scale. www.webmasterworld.com /forum83/1874.htm

WebDeveloper Forums - fixed menu postion with HM 5 Since you're using variable width menus you'll need to play with the numbers to get the right position; if you use fixed width menus you could directly specify the exact position. I used Math.max to ensure that, if the user's browser window is smaller than your layout, the menus will appear at a fixed left position relative to the edge of the page (as you are already doing) to make sure they still stay beneath your target links. The second number (180, 296) represents the minimum left position for the menu--i.e., the position the menu would assume if your layout was flush against the left side of the browser window (and therefore the menus should not be adjusted further to the left of that point). webreference.com /r/sf/showthread.php?threadid=39171
