Different Screen Resolutions?
 

Guys i just got back from GoGoBars party .. had a blast and will post pics later.

Anyhow, while there i checked my site on his PC ... it looked super fucked up!

Tables were squished and nothing was lined up ... stuff that was on a single line on my screen, was on 2 lines on his!

His pc was output to a wide screen TV, which would definately account for it being fucked up, but wouldnt it be stretched and not squished?

see the "CLICK HERE" words that are red? Are they lined up on your screen?

See the "CLICK HERE FOR FREE PICTURES" in red ... is it on one line on your screen like mine?


Thanks for feedback.

Yes.
Don't do your tables in percentage, do them in pixels.

Yep someone else told me that as well, i guess ill recode the page, dropping all the useless shit frontpage add's in there, lol

Good point though ... ill start using fixed width's



Thanks.

Anyone have an idea what resolution is more common?

Ill set my monitor to that for design purposes.


Or is there any site you can run your page through and it tells if its compatible with all resolutions?


Thanks in advance.

My traffic is split almost evenly between 1024x768 and 800x600.

Design all your sites to display properly in 800x600 and they'll work fine in 1024x768 as well.

They won't show properly for those 7 guys using 640x480, but fuck 'em.

Thanks, good idea.

fucking newbie cheater shit, rot in hell for thou hast sinned

You gonna listen this time? I gave you the same advice on ICQ a month ago...

Did you really?

Damn man, sorry .. sometimes as you must know, i just need to learn the hard way. Seeing my site all fucked up on someone elses PC (in front of a crowd no less) is enough for me to learn my lesson.


Well thanks for telling me then, and thanks for telling me again now.

Yes i will listen, its good advice. Thanks

:thumbsup
now you owe me a quarter :)

185 to go shiznits.

ICQ me your epassporte addy, LOL!!!

stop ignoring me you little cunt.

One last question.

If i set my res to 800x600 for all my designing, it makes no difference what size monitor im on right?

Im on a 17' monitor

Wrong. I am on a 17" monitor. And I code my pages to look ok in 800x600, and best at 1024x768
800x600 will soon be dead........ :2 cents:

this is a handy tool. :)

what are you - another 12 year old wannabe?

I just purchased a new LCD, and to my disappointment, the only good resolution where the text is sharp, etc. is at 1280x1024 -- It's hard as crap to design in this res.

It is? My resolution is 1400*1050 and I don't have any problems. :)

mine too, good reply from this guy, said what I was going to post.

yikes@!! heh


i just switched to 1024x768 and it seems HUGE lol

hmm

even at 1024x768 my site is looking fine on my pc.

Did anyone actually confirm its squished on their monitor or stuff not lining up?

thanks

I was that 'someone'.

Nice meeting you btw.

Stop using FrontPage now if you don't want your site all fucked up.

Great meeting you as well and thanks for all the usefull tips you gave me last night.

I will be looking for a new prog, mostly because im sick of all that nonsense frontpage throws in there, i never realized how much it did!

That prog you're looking for would be Dreamweaver MX -- Get it!

Awsome.

Have you got a link? Im assuming its macromedia? Maybe i can just find it myself? Ok i found it, here it is: http://www.macromedia.com/software/dreamweaver/


Thanks for the help.

Are you talking about the $399.00 one?

I figured must be one of these zillions of WYSIWYG editors, soem must be cheaper, heh

I just dont like the useless nonsense frontpage adds, and i wont even mention MS Word, lol

Notepad is free. I use it religiously.

Ahh ... i used to use EditPlus for my text editing, its like notepad but with colorful highlighting for tags. im kinda used to WYSIWYG now though.

You pay for what you get....

get CuteHTML or CoffeeCup HTML

Yes, it's one of the more expensive WYSIWYG-- But as what Eric said, you get what you pay for. This software is packed with features that no other $39.99 software will get you.

Plus, everyone and their uncle has this, so support is everywhere.
