Re: Javascript to allow screen res flexibility

What kind of layout are you doing?

You can mix and match width attributes. You can have a TD at 150px, and one
at 100% and one at 150px or whatever your layout is like and it will
stretch. Only problem is with Netscapes is that you have to fill the td's up
with something. If it's one of the fixed width cells, then a simple 150pixel
wide transparent image should do the trick.

HI all,

I need to get some input on coding for the client that will allow a screen
resolution of 600 for 640 resolutions but expand and then FIX at 760 for
800 and above resolutions.

Problem with per centages is they look awful for 1024, so we are trying to
fix at 800 design, but   we also want to accomodate 640.  There is some
awful psuedocode below (I'm definitely not a programmer).

Do you know of some code that will do this, and work for all browsers (4.0
and above - or allow for checking and variation, at least)?

<table>
<tr>
<td> body of content of the table
<! -- at end of cell, sets table fix -->
  [If (document.window.size) >= 640 {
<center><img src="spacer.gif" width=760 height=1 alt=""></center>
}
else  {
<center><img src="spacer.gif" width=600 height=1 alt=""></center>
} </td>
<!-- fixes width at a safe no-horiz scroll at 600 -->
</tr>
</table>

(And yeah, yeah, I know center tag is deprecated -- I use it as a trick to
insure the spacer is only on one line  and uses less vertical space than a
<BR> too, and center does work in all the browsers -- irrelevant to this
resolution discussion)
