damiancds Posted April 26, 2010 Share Posted April 26, 2010 The point of this is to figure out how much is actually visible at certain resolutions,I want the site I'm designing to never have a horizontal scroll, and designing for 800x600, I figured a width of 780 would be adequate given there would be a vertical scroll bar. Only, when I checked recently, there was in fact a horizontal scroll.So, my question is, what is the given screen size of a 800x600 resolution (assuming there was a vertical scroll bar and the window was maximized), where I'm only concerned with the width?also, what would the width be of a 1024x768 screen (right now that would be my max-width property)?thanks, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

real_illusions Posted April 26, 2010 Share Posted April 26, 2010 If you're that worried, use percentages, but generally with larger screens nowadays, you can get away with 900px or more on sites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dink Posted April 26, 2010 Share Posted April 26, 2010 With the set width also take into consideration any margins or borders they will affect the width also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
damiancds Posted April 26, 2010 Author Share Posted April 26, 2010 My bad, I was using the web developer toolbar for firefox and resizing window to 800x600 when i should have just used the default display settings, because when i used the toolbar, it wasn't maximized so i lost some window space to the sides of the window, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
