Screen resolution is *a* term to use, but it's not entirely useful when it
comes to web design.

My screen is 1024x768 pixels. How is that useful to you as a web designer?

It's not. Because my browser canvas area is usually only about 800px wide.

Likewise, my screen size is 1280x1024, but my canvas is usually only
about 700px wide. This is the case with most folks that use higher
resolutions - more, often smaller windows so they can see lots of them
on screen at the same time.

There are very, very few apps I run in a maximized window.

What specifically was it I said that is BS?

I was suggesting you should correspond with someone like
yourself and get out of my face!

But it can sometimes be mildly amusing taunting you about your
antiquated notions on how the web works.

You are a presumptious old fashioned bore!

You and your southern hemisphere comrade are only b-movie, and stuck in
a
flawed markup.

There is nothing flawed about my markup - it's rather well-formed, thank
you.

Tell people the truth
[snip irrelevant diatribe]

Um, this doesn't answer the question I asked...

You seem to think I should answer you
....don't hold your breath till then!

What was it I said about screen resolution/window size/canvas size that
is BS? It was all rather factual and is certainly easy enough to see
with your own eyes. If you can't figure out how to adjust your own
settings, shall I provide you with some detailed instructions? OK

Assuming you're using IE6, use any of the following shortcuts, either
alone or in combination. Most should affect the canvas size in some way:
CTRL+E (adjust the width of the sidebar as you see fit)
CTRL+I
CTRL+H
ALT+V, then T, then S (or A or L, or G if you have google toolbar)
F11
ALT+spacebar, then R, followed by
ALT+spacebar, then S, then 1 arrow left followed by several arrow right,
then Enter

You could also resize the window by dragging a corner with the mouse if
you're more comfortable using a mouse than the keyboard. There are many
other changes you could make in the browser, but this should be enough
to get my point across.

FYI (not that it matters) my workstation has a dual monitor video card, and
run two monitors a 17" (set at 800x600) and a 19"(set at 1024x768). I keep
things tidy by running maximised windows. I'm happy with this arrangement
and couldn't give a toss what you think or do.

Next, I'd cover changing other system settings that could affect the
browser canvas size, like taskbar (App/Windows, Office, etc.) sizes
and/or position, screen size, etc. I'll post these instructions if you
need them, too. BTW, I can give you Linux and Mac instructions as well,
if need be. Different platforms have different ideas for all these
things. For example, maximizing a window on Mac does not give the same
result as maximizing a window on other platforms, at least not on OSX.
It's pretty weird.

Stop pretending you're a know-all!

...now go stick your nose up your ass again!!!

I don't know why you get so worked up when somebody corrects your
mistakes.

worked up at k-whatever -- never!
....as the song says "who the f*** is Alice" (or k-whatever)

Are you that insecure?

So you're a psychotherapist as well?
GFY!

If that's the best you can come up with, I might as well give up now.

This is only because microsoft, as usual got it wrong. What they really
meant to say on that dialog was "screen dimensions in pixels".

Except IIRC when I see you talking out of your arse.

And your rebuttal? No clear facts at all. Just personal insult.

Standard straw man argument.

You'd recognise an arse, you've been up Roo's for long enough!

Hey fella, gotta tell you an appropriate "joke", and ask you a question:

Woman calls Richard and asks him in a seductive way to come closer. She
leans over the counter and starts to carress his beard. "You the boss of
this bar?" she asks and tenderly touches his cheek.
"Ehhh. No!" Richard replies.
"Would you please call the boss here?" the lady asks, gently touching his
hair.
"Oh, I'm very sorry. But I can't!"
"Would you then please do me a great favour?" the lady asks and strokes the
line of his lips.
"Of course" says Richard.
"I want to leave a message for the boss!" she says and lets two fingers slip
into his mouth which he gently sucks on.
"What message?" the barkeeper asks with the two fingers in his mouth.
"Please tell him that there is no paper, nor soap, nor towel on the lady's
toilet!"

Q. Would Richard know the difference, since his encounters with Roo?

And your rebuttal? No clear facts at all. Just personal insult.

That's all you deserve!

snip insult

Standard straw man argument.
Cheers
Richard.

Yes, make the design stretch and resize for any resolution. Its hard
to get a design that will work fluidly (is that a word?) - but its
worth it. I actually had a designer tell me it couldn't be done. We
ended up hiring someone else to complete the job...and it definitely
could be done.

Ya but you never used your helicopter thingy.

It's the other way round. All sites start out fluid. An author has to work
hard to make them not fluid, by specifying the widht of elements in pixel
for instance.

You cannot predict what the canvas size will be, so trying to design for
any one specific size is really a wasted effort.


The other BS artist joins in - how predictable!
...get a like k-whatever!

Are you still trolling this newsgroup?! I first came here as
a html newbie awhile back and I received excellent advice
from everyone, except you. I decided I'd check back in to
see what's happening and your still here spouting gibberish!
You are the one in need of a life.

Don't bother responding. *plonk* (again).
