That reminds me of Microsoft's attitude of dictating how the user should operate his own equipment.

Remember, some users still have older monitors which won't go above 800 x 600.

Not to mention non-DHTML compliant browsers.

The best solution is to use javascript to detect the user's screen resolution, then redirect to a page designed for that particular resolution.

You might need to design a few pages to handle various possibilities.

My rule of thumb is to design everything for a minimum rez of 800 x 600.

And make sure you use "web safe" colors that still look OK at minimum color depth.


The bottom line is:

you can't please everyone, but you can make your site flexible enough to get to the majority of surfers.

If you just have a small glitch between resolutions you can use a small piece of javascript to tell the browser to either put one line of code or the other.

The example here is to test if the browser is IE or Netscape and to put in code accordingly. Your other code goes around it.

code:

---

 
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
// Begin

if (navigator.appName == "Microsoft Internet Explorer")
{
   document.write('<TR><TD height=7><IMG SRC="images/spacer.gif" height=7></TD></TR>')
}
else
{
        document.write('<TR><TD height=10><IMG SRC="images/spacer.gif" height=7></TD></TR>')
}
// End -->
</SCRIPT>
