Text can be resized at will, and for the most part, the design holds up. There are of course limits, but it handles the most common range very handily. This is an example of a “liquid” layout.

If you’re using a browser that supports fixed positioning, the little robot on the side will follow you as you scroll down. Unfortunately, Internet Explorer 6.0 does not support this six year-old standard, so we must employ the concept of “graceful degradation”. Pintsize (the robot) won’t follow you, but he’ll still be there, spouting his irreverent query.

“Progressive enhancement” is another way of looking at the problem of disparate browser capability, providing those browsers with advanced capabilities an advanced user experience while ensuring that the baseline remains functionally identical. In this way, we can prepare for the inevitable march of technology as well as shepherd the browsers who still need a little help.

The next entry will be nonsense, to demonstrate scrolling. Thanks for stopping by!
