Simple liquid grid layout

I was reading this blog post earlier today, in which it recommends to "Use liquid layouts" and "Roll your own grids". The example below does just this, so with jQuery mobile, fttext etc. I may just be in a good place to develop responsive web designs.

See demo.

Mobile friendly liquid layout #7

This example combines a tiled background texture, with a radial gradient over the top. This provides the effect of lighting.

Mobile friendly liquid layout

This layout works well on most devices. I think it's fair to say that you can do a lot with it. I also discovered a small, but annoying, technical anomaly with webkit browsers while creating it. Using the example below, If I had set the #text element to 'float:left;', this element would have shifted beneath the #picture element. Given the webkit browser is used in many mobile browsers, this becomes more important.

One thing you'll notice from this layout is that I haven't done much with the fonts, but that's just to keep the code slim.

See demo.

The layout below offers 2 things. A liquid layout for the main content and a sticky header and footer. It works well across multiple screen resolutions including phones.
