Unable to switch to a fixed grid

[hungrysquirrel]

My grid system is currently percentage based.

I want to experiment with a fixed layout and read your tutorial at http://susy.oddbird.net/tutorial/

I tried to follow this instruction "For a fixed grid you can simply change your grid units to px." and update my set up but the layout is still fluid unless I over-ride the max-width: 100% that @include container; establishes.

This hack felt wrong, so I thought I check in.

This is an example of my gird set-up

$total-cols: 12;
$col-width: 70px;
$gutter-width: 30px;
$side-gutter-width: 15px;
$grid-background-column-color : #F68888;

Sorry, I should have been more clear. Everything Susy builds is fluid on the inside, and collapses with the browser. That's the entire reason Susy exists. You can change the outer container to be otherwise fluid, elastic, or fixed (%, em, px), but you do have to override the 100% max-width if you want it truly and completely fixed.

I'll make sure that is more clear in the new documentation.
