Little stated in regards to Freeway.... Give them credit that unlike MS they actually use their software to built their site! That piqued my curiosity enough for me to see what Adobe did with their site. There was no attempt at diversion. As for Freeway using a pixel-based scheme for positioning, the intent, a good one in my opinion, is to provide some assurance as to how the resulting site will appear. I'm afraid I'm not much of a fan of so-called "liquid" layouts. All one has to do is to go to such as the Softpress (the implementors of Freeway) or Adobe sites and start enlarging the text and soon the layout degenerates into a hodgepodge of misplaced parts. To me, and apparently there is much disagreement here, the better solution is uniform magnification and/or reduction of the entire page. -- James Leo Ryan .....
