    1024x768 <body> width?

    My international (US included) people still have like 45% 800x600 as their resolution, but I have a few finnish projects and over 85% have 1024x768 or higher resolution. I hate percentage width's in designs, and usually rely on fixed width. I've designed sites for 7 years as being 760-770 wide... time to move on... but to what? lol

    ...so anyone with insight? How wide can a table be inside "body margin:0" so it won't make horizontal scrollbar on any browser on 1024x768?

    Thanks.
    ..and I'm off.

      Good question - I have also been wondering lately. For 800 I make all sites 769 wide, but for 1024 I use ~ 970 just to be on the safe side.

          But seriously, I'm not entirely sure. I would think that you could still get away with 760x770 for a design, even for those surfing at 1024x768. Just means having some background margins on the sides.

          Otherwise, stick with the 30x40 reduction rate... just double it... 60x80.

              Nice effort, depending what you tried to say.

              Anyhow, I red on some wordpress site that people were using div's as wide as 1000.. but I also would like to be safe on all browsers

                  Yeah, I can definately get away with it. I personally have 1280x1024 and I'm quite comfortable using sites that are fixed 760 wide... BUT, at some point people will need to move forwards..and I'd rather do it now than later ;)

                      Oh damn, well I have learnt it now

                      Yeah, but like stuart says, I think 770 looks pretty good on 1024 aswell. I mostly use the latter for CMS, backends etc where the screen real estate is more important.
