 | View Full Version : How wide? Powi 03-10-2005, 11:10 AM I was just wondering how wide should i make a table to fit in a 800 x 600 screen resolution. I tried with a 778px wide table but firefox still displays the horizontal scrollbar while IE doesn't. I wonder how wide you people make them Thanks the_pm 03-10-2005, 11:18 AM Dunno. Are you accounting for sidebar/media areas usually placed on the left side of the screen when used? Because that could take up 100-200 pixels of space - no way to really tell how much. Are you assuming maximized windows? A lot of people browse with a sized window (it is a window, after all ;) ). foress 03-10-2005, 02:51 PM Perhaps you should just put 100% ? crazyfish 03-10-2005, 03:53 PM you could try using percentages, but then you have to take into account people that use high resolution settings. 750px will fit if it is a full window with no toolbar on the sides.

Set the width on one container to 750px, on the second stylesheet, set the width on the other container to 98%. that way, there's a solution for all users. By the way, tables were made for tabular data, not layouts. centrix 03-11-2005, 05:02 PM 768x whatever should work with all browsers it hink, i could be wrong though |
