Resolutions for Liquid Layouts and JS Libraries
Hi guys,
I'm in the middle of developing a liquid css layout which gets really skewed up when the user resizes their browser to 800*600 or less. I have heard that some JS libraries such as prototype.js and jquery can help prevent fluid css breaking during browser resizing.
I'm just wondering if anyone has used a similar method or if you know of a tutorial/article demonstrating how to implement this? Google isn't being frienly with her search results thus far!
why are you bothering with liquid layout?

I'm just after joining the development team and they have been working on the site for the past year using liquid layouts as it was specified by the client.
Obviously a very bad design choice

aye there are plenty of reasons against Liquid layouts alright (apart from maintaining sanity for the developer(s))

You should be able to fix this easily by setting a min-width value of 800px (or other) on the wrapper element of your layout. There are some straight-forward hacks for getting min/max-/width/height to work on IE.
Min-Height Fast Hack
when you work with liquid layouts, you are not supposed to use fix values anymore like width:100px, probably the reason you are having problems now if the browser is manually resized.
if you start in % then you have to work and finish it that way.
the biggest problem that way is padding and margins not rendering the same in some browsers.
