Re: Does everyone design for

If you do use set width to 780 or less (it gives spac for the scroll par in 800x600 resolution)

Re: Does everyone design for

Usually I design liquid layouts, but when doing fixed width, I always make them 780px wide or less, to account for scroll bars, etc.

Re: Does everyone design for

I code for every resolution, if its a fixed width 760px.

Just code to the standards and keep the little guy in mind and you will be fine

Re: Does everyone design for

Use percentage values to define the height and width of anything, this way it should look great across all platforms and browsers. Also, the very best way to layout a web page, if you want it to be viewable across all browsers is using css, it is soooo good for compatability, tables aren't a great way to lay out as some of it isn't valid html 4.0

CSS for everything other than tabular data. I design for 800x600 but keep in mind most of my visitors use 1024x768. I use fixed height and percentage widths

Re: Does everyone design for

I'm always a fan of fluid css layouts and php includes.
I also like layout-o-matic - http://www.inknoise.com/experimental/layoutomatic.php although I always build my own layouts from scratch.

Thank you so much for sharing that URL. I just checked it out and it's really great. I might even use it myself to make all of DaniWeb CSS friendly!

Re: Does everyone design for

When designing fixed width, try to design for 744. IE on a mac is the smallest screen I design for.
