I usually use a centered container which is flexible depending on the size of the screen. However, I give it a minimum width of 800px to stop any funny looking layouts!

I always prefer : 1024x768

Hey!

I just got specs for an Intranet with 640x480 resolution!

Also WSIWYG editor, ~~Unix~~ os at a Linux server

Drupal 6.2 (sorry most of the modules you need aren't there yet!)

Oh dear, this is going to be fun!

OK it's still in the early planning stages, the doc was forwarded to me by the PM for "suggestions, feasibility and notes" - I had a few comments, all right!

Most of my sites are fixed

Most of my sites are fixed width at 800px to 920px. Perfect for 1024 but you get the horizontal scrollbar on 800. But, if you have an 800 monitor (like my old, old laptop) you fully expect to have to scroll every once in a while on some sites.

FWIW - Opera has had zoom at least since version 6. It also has "fit to window" and other useful goodies like tabs. Other browsers are just catching up.

Great article, David

I have referenced Smashing Magazine here at TWF too - I think it has excellent resources, for developers as well as designers.

I didn't even know Opera 9.5 has the zoom feature - I just tried it out on the article site.

I do know that Opera 9.5 will crash on my Vista Home Premium laptop when installed in a folder named "Opera" but not when it's in a folder named "Opera951" for example - I've been working with Opera support to track the bug.

I am using a fixed 990px Drupal theme for my personal site (4 Seasons) and a fluid theme (Ability) for the Hudson County Self-Help Center - on smallish resolutions (less than 1280) the fairly large logo will pop up - thinking about best way to deal with it, probably making the left margin a % not fixed is the way...

Serendipitously, the subject

Serendipitously, the subject of accommodating a wide variety of browser window widths was discussed yesterday in a Smashing Magazine article.

Looks like a good resource.

I'm starting to think that horizontal scrolling for a small percentage of users isn't such a huge crime. If you're talking about 2% of users, then maybe it's okay. There will also be people with screen magnifiers who always see the web that way.

There used to be more problems with designers not being aware of screen resolution issues, which is why a lot of the admonition against horizontal scrolling came up. This doesn't really happen anymore. I think you just need to be aware of your audience and design accordingly.

The other 98% of your visitors have big monitors because they want more screen space. Why not use it? I'm starting to give increasing consideration to the 60% of my visitors who are at resolutions above 1280. What about them? We're going to cater to the 2% at 800 x 600 but not the 60% at higher resolutions?

(yeah, yeah, we don't know that they're maximized. etc. etc. I'm just saying that we need to keep a balanced view of this).
