The site you linked to doesn't do this, so I can't recommend it as a resource for flexible design inspiration specifically. aSKer, I know there are a lot more CSS galleries than the ones I listed here, but these are the only ones that specifically highlight flexible (liquid and/or elastic) web sites separately from fixed-width sites.

Boulton). The topos of a free artist that can only be creative without any limitations is romantic, but not true. Some of the best paintings in the history of art were made by artists under circumstances that were by far less ideal. How can you even imagine a sculpture without knowing the material, your tools and casting mold? In fact only knowing the limitations builds the frame where creativity can exist in. Visual designers that are unaware of the constraints that CSS has are neither free nor creative, they are simply out of touch. This collides with the work flow of the web guys who have to actually implement it. “knowing how to build things in HTML/CSS limits your creativity” (M. Boulton).
