   Seriously man, if you’re trying to get a broader range of ideas (i.e. more input than mine), you’re looking in the wrong place. Of the multitudes of people who use Y!A, only a handful (really – I can count them on my hand) can authoritatively speak on that topic – it’s just far too advanced for the average user on this site, and the average answerer.

   I think you need to understand the difference between liquid and fixed layouts. I would recommend using fixed layout & absolute positioning for the frame of your site and liquid layout with relative or static positioning for the content of the site. To see how they both work try working with several divs and make colored boxes within boxes for practice and see how the different layouts work. Your tests should allow you to see and get the affect you are looking for on your site. You can use percentages vs pixels for your liquid layout.
