Answer 2

"Liquid" templates are layouts which allow for the possibility that the person viewing the screen may decide to enlarge or shrink the font size or window size.

One way you can enlarge the font size is by going to the View item in the menu toolbar: many folks with poor vision decide to go for a larger font size for ease of reading.

One way you can change the screen size is by merely not having the window occupy the full screen, and then dragging the window either sideways or top-to-bottom so that it's smaller.

A "liquid" layout allows for this (for example, in a two-column situation) without "mistreating" the readability of the information. A fixed layout might set the width of the layout at 750px with a left column at 500px and a right column at 250px. A liquid layout, on the other hand, might set the widths at 65% and 35% so that the column widths can "grow and shrink" with screen changes. Further, a liquid layout may use em measurements instead of px measurements for font sizes so as to allow the web page viewer full control over the manner in which the page is viewed.
