Fluid design looks great but it still need to be limited. Let say you have a fluid design blog with lots of text. When you reach certain width it would be totally hard to read (you have to move your eyes from left to right on each rows).

liquid layouts are still being experimented by international designers today. they are trying to use DOM so that if a person's screen is more than # width, the layout changes in a particular way.
