Thanks in adavance.<!--content-->800x600- short and sweet, use percentages in your scripts other then the actual width<!--content-->i wouldnt put it in that way, you cant just say: X is the best resolution.<br />
<br />
It entirely depends on the audience you are building the site for. And as the other guy said: use percentages, this way you can build a site wich works for all resolutions. Then you would be building a site minimally designed for resolution X<!--content-->As Wijbenga said, the best resolution depends on your audience. Normally, as a standard, I would say design for a miminum of 800x600 as there are a lot of people that use that still. The Intranet I have developed at work is designed for 1024x768 but that is because I know for sure that nobody is using a lower resolution than that.<br />
<br />
There have been a few threads lately regarding ways of making your site look good in different resolutions. Try searching this forum.<!--content-->yep - its all about audience.<br />
<br />
but to make sure, it is best to use percentages rather than hard-set widths where possible.<br />
<br />
<br />
or, you could do a nice little javascript that detects the resolution and alters the page code accordingly - no worries then.<!--content-->there's a grand article at webmonkey: sizing up the browsers (<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://hotwired.lycos.com/webmonkey/99/41/index3a.html?tw=design">http://hotwired.lycos.com/webmonkey/99/ ... ?tw=design</a><!-- m -->) <br />
<br />
they point out that you should pay attention to the canvas size, tis not the same as the browser size... and such things<br />

I hate maths, so i avoid it like
<!--content-->Wellif your not short on bandwidth you could create multiple versions of the site for different resolutions and have a resolution re-direct script that would redirect accordingly to the user's resolution.<br />
<br />
This would make it that it would appear good in all resolutions. But it would be a hassle to update unless you used some sort of frame.<!--content-->Originally posted by KJ_innit <br />

This is true for my site also, over ?the users are at 800x600, most likely they all have 15" monitors...I was one also until I bought a 17"<!--content-->800x600!<br />
<br />
If it looks okay that size it should appear fine with a bigger size! If you make it in a bigger resolution it'll scroll for 800x600<!--content-->
