The
size of the user's web browser window is probably one of the biggest headaches
when it comes to web page design.
The
trouble is not everyone has the same size monitor running at the same resolution.
To make things worse different browsers have different viewable screen areas.
It
is much easier viewing a web page that is designed for a smaller screen than one
that is designed for a larger screen where you may have to do allot of scrolling
left and right to read what is on the page.
Thankfully,
the minimum resolution most people use these days is 800 x 600 pixels and either
use Internet Explorer or Netscape web browsers. In this case the minimum live
space you can work with is 783 x 398 pixels.
By
designing the web page for a live space of 783 x 398 pixels you a guaranteed that
the web page is going too easily viewed by the majority of web users.
In
fact this web site is designed for this amount of live space, but when the page
is viewed on a higher resolution monitor with more live space the page automatically
resizes to fit the browser window.
The
resize feature of web browsers is something that works for this site, but you
may find that it completely ruins your much worked on page design.
