Settings help
 
I am just wondering what the norm is with settings.

800x600
1024x768



if your comp is set 1024x768 how do you design with the people inmind that use 800x600?

Cleo 2004-04-21 06:34 PM

Just put everything into a table that is 700 or less pixels wide.

Surfn 2004-04-21 06:35 PM

By limiting the area you use to 700 pixels wide.

SlickRick 2004-04-21 06:43 PM

Ok this may sound really stupid.

But if you change the table to 700 or less and want to keep the font or close to the same size without having to goto an "Arial size="2"/Arial 8pt. how is that done ?!!!

I'm at 1280x960 - I switched to 800x600 the other day for about 10 seconds & it scared the shit out of me - LOL

I usually build at 700-750 wide & then just adjust the font so that it fits when viewing the page using the "medium" settings on my browser (probably default for most people)

Cleo 2004-04-21 06:47 PM

Since I'm a poor girl I only have a 9" monitor but like to set my resolution to 1920x1080 so I like it when someone uses really big fonts.

Surf/work at 1280x1024

Review at 1024x768

Build for 800x600

I like reviewing at a large resolution - gives me more reasons to decline sites :D

Jim 2004-04-21 07:09 PM

I'm at 1024x768 but I am getting older. Greenies monitors drove me crazy this weekend :)

if I already had a blog up that was built at 1024
and now I want to put it in a table of 700...

will that cause a corruption of the existing pages
integrity ??

it's a blog on the blogger.com service
with archives etc..

does anyone know how to require the template
setting for a viewing to be 800x600 ??

it that change is made - does it automatically FIX
the display of all the archived pages as well ??
(or will those archived pages need to each be manually
slapped into a table ?? )

where might I find the html for the table
that I should use to slap the existing pages into...
and to use from now on when building ??

(an invisible table)


thanks....

Text should not really be effected by the width of the table - it just wraps down to the next line.

Now, if you put an image that 800 wide in a 700 wide table, that image would stretch the table.

Yes,

Thank you Cleo, dd, gg, and Jim :)

SlickRick 2004-04-21 09:57 PM

oops sorry forgot Surfn

thanks as well :)

Bell 2004-04-22 01:58 AM

I was able to find a page on the net as an example of a table under 700 pixels...

here:
http://www.earthsite.org/SeasonOfPeace03.htm


I see that the color code of the table causes it to be white...


what color code or command would I use to make the border
be invisible to the naked eye ??


thanks...
