Screen Width

**zeroskater88** · Apr 03rd, 2003, 03:51 PM

Ok, what is the screen width in pixles or inchs (dosnt matter)

I decided I am redesigning my site considering how unoriginal it is

So Im probly going to be here for a while asking for advice and so on. I just want to know the precise size of the width of a screen. {800x600 resolution)

Anyone know?

Maximum usable resolution in windows (when the window is maximized) is 784 x 450 or so (the height is variable, depending on how many toolbars the user has up). The -16 pixels in width is for scrollbars. Consider margins, if any, in designing for this width.

cool

Thanks alot.

Now instead of making another thread, is there a way to have a stationairy scroll bar type thing like is on my current site now? Check it out. (in the middle, consisting of the updates) Is that possible to create in a fireworks program?

Thanks

I can't see your site, but it sounds like an iFrame. I don't know Fireworks, but they're pretty easy to create. Try something like this:

Code:

<html>
  <head>
    <title>Hi</title>
    <style type="text/css">
      a.nav {color: #FFFFFF; text-decoration: none}
      a.nav:hover {text-decoration: underline}
    </style>
  </head>
  <body
      marginwidth="0" 
      marginheight="0" 
      topmargin="0" 
      bottommargin="0" 
      leftmargin="0" 
      rightmargin="0">
    <center>
    <table width="780" cellpadding="1" cellspacing="0" border="0" bgcolor="#000000">
      <tr>
        <td>
          <h2><font color="#FFFFFF">Put your header here</font>
        </td></h2>
      </tr>
      <tr>
        <td>
          <font color="#FFFFFF">
          <a class="nav" href="page2.htm" target="content">Link</a> |
          <a class="nav" href="page3.htm" target="content">Link</a> |
          <a class="nav" href="page4.htm" target="content">Link</a> |
          <a class="nav" href="page5.htm" target="content">Link</a> |
          <a class="nav" href="page6.htm" target="content">Link</a>
          </font>
        </td>
      </tr>
      <tr>
        <td>
          <table width="100%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" bgcolor="#000000">
            <tr>
              <td>
                <iframe id="fraContent" name="content"
                      src="page1.htm" width="778" height="400"
                      frameborder="0" scrolling="yes"></iframe>
                </iframe>
              </td>
            </tr>
          </table>
        </td>
      </tr>
      <tr>
        <td>
          <font color="#FFFFFF">Put your footer here</font>
        </td>
      </tr>
    </table>
    </center>
  </body>
</html>

hmm

Yes they are very easy, but I was just wondering if you can make on by using any buttons inside fireworks, i know the html. But I cant add html in the middle of fireworks. Thanks though.

dang

ok, well as i said, I restarted. i think this is a much better, clean layout. Here it is, ::LINK REMOVED::

Sorry about that, i have to upload all of the files again from fireworks.
:dead:

Please comment on this
Thanks

Cool stuff. What might look sweet is making the site look like the bottom of a skateboard, where the elements on the right and left look like the wheel structures (not sure what they're called). I know it might sound cheesy, but I personally think it would probably look pretty cool.

The entire page showed up as broken links for me for some bizarre reason.
