Hello all, I am going to make some example layouts involving liquid and elastic widths. I am looking for some best practices on making an accessible layout. Here are some options I am considering:
- a fluid layout with em based max-width - an elastic layout with max-width 100% - an elastic layout without max-width Right now I am leaning towards the fluid layout with em based max-width as the most accessible choice for any layout. An example of this can be found at http://www.cssliquid.com What I am wondering about is the elastic layouts. A while back there was a discussion about whether or not elastic layouts should have a max-width 100%. I am very partial to the max-width, since I can't imagine a site without it being as usable. The only exception to this is a layout with 3 or 4 columns, in which case it might be better to allow the columns to go offscreen rather than get too narrow for their content. Also, an elastic layout with max-width 100% is not very different from a fluid layout with max-width in ems, but I'm think the elastic layout has the advantage of looking better on large screens in IE when max-width is not supported. Anyway, does anyone have any information or experience in working with these layouts and accessibility/usability? If there isn't any information on which is more usable then maybe it's about time I do some tests. -- -- Christian Montoya christianmontoya.com ... rdpdesign.com ... cssliquid.com ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
