Hi Ciaran,

My programmer is recommending that I use a fluid width rather than a fixed width for my sites. Looks like Joomla51 templates come with a fixed width. Is it possible to switch them over to a fluid width? If so, what % setting would you recommend using and how would I switch them to fluid?

Regards,

Mort

Hi Mort

It is really down to personal taste. My only gripe with fluid width is that content will often display differently depending on screensize. Fixed width will generally display the same on all desktop devices. On the other side of that, fluid width does use up more of the screen.

Hi Mort

Quite simple although it may vary slightly from template to template. In most cases the following custom CSS will make your template width fluid...

.wrapper960 {

    width: 100%;

}

Hi Ciaran,

This is great...thanks so much!

Can I generally leave my templates with fixed width? When might I want to make my template width fluid?
