I just like to know how I could make my website look the same on different resolution sizes??? Should I always be developing on a 800 x 600 resolution??? <br />
<br />
Thanks!!!<!--content-->That's an excellent question.<br />
<br />
What I do is make all of my tables, frames, and whatever else in percentages. If you do them in pixels, you will inevitably end up with something looking badly in a different screen resolution.<br />
<br />
800x600 and higher is what you should aim for. I really don't worry about anything lower (but do put a message at the bottom of every page saying that this page looks best at 800x600). Again, if you use percentages, even lower screen resolutions won't look too horrible.<br />
<br />
Yes, 800x600 is the most widely used. Check this site out for more detailed stats - <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.upsdell.com/BrowserNews/stat.htm">http://www.upsdell.com/BrowserNews/stat.htm</a><!-- m --><br />

thanks!<br />
chris<pixelmonkey>:monkey:<!--content-->I tend to do a site that will either adjust itself to fit the browser window (percentages) or of a fixed size (750x400 table usually).<br />
<br />
Most recently though I've had a lot of 'issues' with large amounts of white space on websites (from customers) and have implemented code to work out the dimensions of the browser and load one of three sized sites when they hit the main page. It's a bugger to maintain and you have to do everything 3 times (for each different resolution) but it means they keep paying us - which is always nice.

Here are the stats from my often viewed interactive colorwheel. It has a worldwide audience, and probably viewed by a good cross-section of web surfers:<br />

It is probably not a "scientific sample", but the numbers are large enough and consistent enough to be meaningful.<!--content-->
