Fw: Maximum suggested page width for 800x600 browsers

> Hi Jay,
>
> look at my sites http://www.hoehnermusikfan.net
> http://home.zonnet.nl/ineke.maat/index.html
> The netto pagewidth is set to 480 pixel so the site looks also fine in
> WebTVviewer (always more people look internet on their TVscreen). THAT HAS
> ONLY BRUTO 560 PIXELS AND NO SCROLLBAR AT ALL.
>
> When  people set in IE VIEW/TEXT SIZE  to LARGEST (which widens the page)
> they don't need to scroll very much. Especcially DISABLED PEOPLE have many
> problems with SCROLLING WIDE PAGES.
>
> I only used CSS by setting the class
> PageWidth
> {width: 480px;
> background: #ffffff;}  and defined some more properties.
> The body is existing of a backgroundimage and the "real textpage"
background
> is white.
> So everybody (also disabled people) can read the page now very easily and
it
> looks by using a background also fine on big screeens.
