The trend is moving towards 'responsive web design' rather than liquid layouts measured in percentages.

CSS3 introduced media queries, which allow you to serve different styles depending on device resolution, without needing to resort to Javascript, so this makes it far more flexible when designing for multiple devices.

Ethan Marcotte is the person who popularised the term responsive web design - in fact, he basically wrote the book on it. His article on A List Apart is a good place to get started:
