Sizing a Web page 1

[Guest_imported]

Is there a behaviour or something that can detect what size the browser screen is running in (e.g. 800 x 600 or better).

What resolution would users recommend designing pages for? My pages look very differently (obviously) when viewed in 800 x600 compared to my normal screen.

cheers

I would design for 800x600 and you will be safe. If you make the table so they expand to 100% you can make it look good in larger resolutions as well. If you have a site that is based in graphics then use 800x600.

These are the March stats for over 205 million users all over the world.

205,928,352 Visitors

Resolutions:
 800x600    88501336 (53%) 
1024x768    52167556 (31%) 
 640x480     9740988 (5%) 
1280x1024    5511732 (3%) 
1152x864     4775300 (2%) 
1600x1200     884709 (0%)
