I'll look into all the remarks, especially fantasai's tabbed stuff (right now, I cannot comprehend it so I'll have to scrutinise it later) but, please note that the whole point of a fluid grid is that it IS NOT FIXED!! :P A fluid grid is fluid, i.e. imagine pouring all the cells into the grid and letting them fill the available space. Instead of forcing the page wider than the window, or leaving a huge gap, it snugly fills the space like a fluid. Exactly like tables do not.
