A:
- Grid layouts are built more towards a specific width no matter how wide a user's browser window is.
- Liquid layouts expand/contract based on the width of the user's browser window.

There are already a number of pointers to good grid layout systems in other answers, I like Yahoo's UI Grids a lot. It can do fixed-width layouts and 100% (fluid) layouts, and there's a nice tool that allows you to play with different layouts.
Fixed-width layouts have the advantage of being more predictable than fluid layouts in many cases.
