What do you mean when you say 'fluid'? And, can you tell me why I should change the container width?

People use bigger screens now.

Fluid = re-sizable at all widths

(This site is fluid)

Normally, how would you go about doing this?

If you could provide a little bit more detail, I would really appreciate it.

Thank you!

Set the outer border as 90% instead of say 900px then objects will shrink with the page width.

Yep.. and its interesting how they all use the original code from Mike Foster over at Crossbrowser.com to code their pages...

In fact, I like the one you listed here: CSS layouts: liquid, fluid, elastic, flexible... it's almost identicle to Sitepoint.com technique that was first demostrated here:

I'm still a big fan of that 'Dockable Nav' technique... VERY Cool.
