Hello fello HTML warriors . . . <br />
<br />
Just wanna pick al yer superior brainz . . .<br />
<br />
Look just how far do I take the lower resolution thing . . . I mean I'm trying to keep the 640 x 480 guys in mind but that means I have bugger all room to play with . . . does anyoe know the REAL pixels actually shown in 640 x 480?<br />
<br />
Do you guys think I should allow all sidebar options to be viewed without having to any vertical scrolling?<br />
<br />
You input much appreciated, while I massage me temples . . .<br />
<br />
dirtystim<!--content-->Hi, I think the 640x480 users have learned to accept scroll bars in both directions :). The standard has become 800x600 (49.5%), with only 3.5% of users in lower resolutions. I would allow vertical scrolling in your sidebar if it is needed.<!--content-->Thanx Ian you've put my mind at ease.<br />
<br />
BTW where can I get stats like that?<br />
<br />
I love it here!<br />
:):D:):D<br />

'Come and write some code if you think you're hard enough!'<!--content-->I'm not sure where you could gain official stats. I was just looking at some from A1 JavaScripts which has been counting for over a year and has passed over 1 million visitors, so consider it a reasonable guide of whats what. Here is a few more from Hitbox.<br />
<br />
800 x 600 (46.15)<br />
1024 x 768 (39.26)<br />
1280 x 1024 (4.71)<br />
1152 x 864 (4.10)<br />
Other Resolutions (2.42)<br />
640 x 480 (2.34)<br />
1600 x 1200 (0.68)<br />
800 x 553 (0.17)<br />
1024 x 721 (0.16)<br />
640 x 433 (0.03)<br />
<br />
What "Other Resolutions" refer to, I have no idea, I can't think of any that have not been listed. (Web TV or something ?)<!--content-->Wow thx M8 that's really informative!<br />
<br />
God bless numbers eh?<br />
<br />
PS why is the second almighty in brackets? lol :D<br />
<br />
Almighty (Almighty?)<br />
<br />
PS Can I get mine changed to 'The lowest of the low' ;)<br />
<br />
dirtystim<!--content-->wow...1024X780 is 39% and climbing...., especially since its the norm on the new laptops. I'll try to dig up a current artcile on rez.<!--content-->Thx Doc! :D<br />

"I pity the fools . . ."<!--content-->I think 640x433 and 800x553 are MAC equivelents to pc 640x480 and 800x600 (maybe 1024 x 721 also - pc 1024x768) but don't quote me on that.<!--content-->Look, sorry to ask such a basic question PPL, <br />
but what sort of pixel wiwidth would youse suggest for a side nav bar . . given that I'm gonna design pretty much for the 800 x 600 posse ??<br />
<br />
Your help as ever is much appreciated.<br />
