In response to a recent posting, Rob Giordano posed the question: "What
size is normal?" Although unrelated to the original posting, I'd appreciate
some feedback from the experts regarding "normal" - or perhaps recommended -
page width. Many moons ago, I was taught to build table-based webs that
would display on 800X600 monitors without horizontal scrolling. For me, that
usually translated to table widths of 750-760 px. These usually also display
fine on 1024X768, although having an abundance of white space. I can only
imagine what they look like on higher res monitors.
Given today's technology, what's the latest thinking on page widths? Is
800X600 still a valid consideration, or has it pretty much gone the way of
640 resolution monitors? All thoughts and comments are appreciated.
