Many people still use 800x600 and you should ask yourself Are you designing your web site for the average Joe, or a select audience who you know will have resolutions at 1024*768? Usually the answer is the later as it is for customers whom you are not sure what the screen resolution will be. [ 12-17-2003, 10:40 AM: Message edited by: pritchke ] |

I'm currently creating it with 800*600 in mind and and it works out OK. Tables are really nice for this stuff. Also with (iframe) I can keep out the vertical scrollbar as well except for the cell where it's needed.

800x600 is by far the best way to go - this way you'll make life easy for 97% of web users. I've researched the whole screen resolution thing recently myself, and overall it seems that something like 48% of browsers are set to 800x600, and 45% to 1024x768. So if you adjust your site to fit the former, you'll be able to encompass nearly everybody.

I made it so it fits in a 800*600 screen but it looks better in 1024*768 (no scrolling). Problem is my teacher doesn't put online what the requirements are so I can't put it up yet

I would suggest working to the lowest common dominator, that way your site will reach the widest possible audience. But if it's for a specialist area, you should go for what fits best for the target area.

I would not change my resoloution for a website for the simple reason that it re-arranges my desktop icons.

 that's a good reason. Stupid thing is I created this website with 800*600 in mind but forgot the stupid lycos ads I think I'll just search another host without ads for that part and have all the downloads and the forum on lycos.
