Darksat said: "A lot of people still use 800x600 and those that use 1024x768 dont always surf full screen. plus with palmtops and smartphones comming out screens are getting smaller as well as bigger."

Darksat said: "Thats sloppy edwin. here is a screen resolution breakdown of one of my sites off the tracking. 1024x768 1906 68.56% 800x600 411 14.78% 1280x1024 285 10.25% 1152x864 79 2.84% Other 69 2.48% 1600x1200 21 0.75% 640x480 9 0.32% Over 30% of my visitors use a different resolution."

edwin said: "so how do you make different displays?"

Darksat said: "Referr tracking using the user agent screen to detect palmtops and smartphones, Javascript / PHP screen resolution tracking, dynamic reshaping content or have it set to cater for smaller screen sizes, with javascript, php and good HTML codeing you can cater for any screen size."

So if a user is using 800x600 they'll still be able to view the site correctly, but it would best be viewed at 1024x768...the most favorite of resolutions, and obviously any resolution higher. [QUOTE]so how do you make different displays[/QUOTE] How do you make a site compatible with all resolutions? Well you could have a set width. In my case about 760px width so that it'll fit nicely in a 800x600 res (and obviously anything higher). You could have a page fit width, instead of using px amount you use percentage (%). EG: [SIZE=2][FONT=Arial][/FONT][/SIZE] and the table will fit the page 90% of the browsers' size. Or you could have a res detection redirection but hey thats just ameteur. :cool: peace"
