Though I do not agree to the fact so much, but one reason is that in lower resolutions than what the site has been designed for, fixed size will give horizontal scrolling. Another reason could be greater use of available space at any resolution. However, Working in percentage mode, might increase blank spaces, and disrupt the layout as well, thus affecting accessability in a different way I believe that one has to focus on audience and then take such decisions. Generalizing, is probably not the right thing here. just my 2 cents.. Cheers alokjain Cognitive Consulatnt Satyam Infoway Ltd.
