Coding liquid layouts for your website can become a major problem due to many factors to be taken into when the user resizes the browser: images that doesn’t fit the width, texts wrapping as not expected, columns breaking… not to mention that working with percentages in CSS is problematic among different browsers. With a fixed layout this should not happen, because you have more control over the structure itself and the box model behaves as you expect if you use a good CSS reseter.
