    web designers: different designs for 1024x780 and 800x600

    sometimes you can design pages for both 1024 and 800 - I'm not saying you can't.
    but most of the times you are designing the page to display better at either of the resolutions - mostly 800x600 (being 1027x780 compatible but not as good).
    would it be totally crazy/dumb to determine the screen resolution of the user in a JavaScript and then specify a different external .CSS in each case?

      Praise you Brother Jestor with a Z. Not dumb at all in fact alot of people do it this way.

      On a sidenote has anyone seen my pants?

          Wouldn't be crazy but it mind you that it is:

          a.) a shitload of work
          b.) javascript won't work 100% of the time

                  a.) why? because of editing 2 .CSS files? there is a solution for this using the ClassName object to only dynamicaly change a few elements and not the whole .CSS file - so you don't need 2 .CSS files.
                  b.) you set a default which is the common resulotion (I think 1027) - very easy

                      Depends if you have images on your site or not. This idea might work for a simple textlink TGP but once you work with objects that are absolute in size, such as images or form elements, you're already getting yourself into trouble.

                      Goodluck anyways.

                      (Don't take my word for the javascript comment, find out for yourself.)

                          Unless you're getting paid a shitload for a project it's too much work.

                          I prefer to just design in either a fixed width of 800, or a percentage width. Both work fine and I don't hear anyone complain about a design being too small.

                                      Yeah, thats just lovely when you are on 1600x1200 resolution..


                                      Z - I have done it, and in fact with 3 different resolutions - works very well.

                                          check your traffic stats - 800 is not standard anymore (it used to be)

                                              I also use percentage width, but sometimes it just won't cut it
