Screen Resolutions

[Mike Stumpo]

How can I calculate what size I should make my webpage to
assure that people with 1024x768 resultion won't need to
scroll at all when viewing the pages.

For example, I will be creating a website using DWT
(created in photoshop) and then sliced up for use as the
DWT.

I want to know how to calculate what the *actual* size
should be in photoshop so when the site is viewed in IE,
the user won't have to scroll left or right.

I notice that FP2003 has the various page sizes in the
bottom right. Are those accurate for what I am doing? I
would like to know how to calculate this so I can add my
own sizes.

Thanks

Most folks out there still use 800 x 600 settings so you want to build for
no scrolling for them, not the 1024 people!!! (Or the pages need to scale
properly for either size.) This is especially so if you want the pages to be
printable!

Thanks for the input, however you have not answered my
question.

I will have "printer friendly pages" for any that require
printing. This is for an Intranet project so I am not
really as concerned about resultions under 1024.

The width you want minus 50 pixels for the vertical scroll bar.

So, 1024 would be 974

there's a simple trick with .css that you can use to render even the biggest
most graphics laden page printable.
there is a very simple example here:

more complicated on other pages in the http://nedp.net/ folders.
I'm sure it'll work for your needs.

Even if everyone has 1024 x 768 resolution, how many actually view or work
in application at full screen?

I do - and that's on a 19" screen.

Sorry to hear that you are wasting all of that screen real estate! <vbg>
