I guess the same can be done with <div>... But the main problem is that there's no real standard for resolution. I see people having resolution set at 800x600, and 1600x200, how is it ever possible to make a page look good at both? Resizing it to 1600x1200 would give you an enormous page, while keeping it at 800 width makes it so damn small. So lets say you re size it to 1024 width, then you still have such damn borders on both sides. That doesn't look nice either. And how would you do deal with pages that have a layout based on pictures? Should you create a header that is 1600 width, and resize it down until 800 when a user with 800x600 visits? and all images used at borders and corners? That's the biggest problem in dynamic layouts. Atm, i repeat small images around the borders, but that's a real pain in the ass. For now, i mostly design static pages, that are best viewable with 1024x768, and resolutions higher then that have those damn borders... If sombody has a better way, i'd like to hear :) Tijnema
If you use css and em's properly, it doesn't make any difference what the user's monitor size is.
For example, look at this: http://earthstones.com/ That's my wife's site and I based the entire site on em's -- as explained here: http://sperling.com/examples/zoom/ IMO, static sites don't use the medium well -- the web is not print. Cheers, tedd PS: I'm redoing her site -- it's dated. -- ------- http://sperling.com http://ancientstones.com http://earthstones.com -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
