Re: Resolution size

Ok, I stuck my nose in without offering anything actual _constructive_ so
I'll add this:

As a "general rule" if you will design your pages with valid HTML and don't
allow _any_ content element, or combination of elements to exceed 450
pixels in width you will find that except on the postage stamp size palm
tops screen, your stuff will show just fine. Even on those itsy-bitsy 11
inch MAC monitors set at 480X640, without having to scroll sideways.

BTW - I didn't make that number up. If you would care to go to the archives
this topic has come up _numerous_ times and consistently this has "proven"
to be an excellent "common denominator".

HTH,
Fuzzy
