Beginner questions here. I was wondering what properties make Dreamweaver's new page layout templates fluid versus fixed?

Also should you pretty much always use a DIV to hold content? I see that it's possible to insert content that isn't inside a DIV.

no you don't need to always use a <div>

if you're referring to a wrapper or container they can be handy certainly, but not imperative.

a <div> and <span> are not the only options though

with html5 if you are using it you also have
<header><nav><aside><footer><article><section>
and a further assortment to choose from...

A <div> is just a container.

As is a <ul>, <ol>, <dl>, <li>, <table>, <tr>, <td>, <p>, <span>, <img>, <form>, <h1 .. h6> <body>, <html> etc. etc. etc.

Some are containers for a specific structure, some are not.
