    Avoid awkward empty space
    spirit and nature of medium
    Disadvantages:
    large monitors, line length
    Less prodictable pages
    Percentage values
  2. 2Fixedconstant grid, should know where it's fixed
    if viewer's window not as wide, content won't be visible
    Adv:
    layout predictable
    control over line length
    might be trends but a lot of designers use this
    Disadv :
    content will be hidden if window too small
    text elements will reflow if font size changes, doesn't guarantee will stay the same
    lane lengths awkward at very large text sizes
  3. 3Elasticlayout expands or contracts with size of the text. line lengths stay the same.
    Adv :
    consistent layout experience, flexible text size
    tight control on line lengths
    Disadv :
    images don't get rescaled the same way
    width of layout might exceed browser window but max-width will save your ass
