Hi All,
I'm a newbie at web design, and would like to know how to best design a
layout.
Right now Im using VS 2003, framework 1.1.
I have designed page layouts as follows:
1 .A Table structure with a HEADER, LEFT MENU, CONTENT and FOOTER section as
table cells and rows, each containing a user control which will obviously
then look similar on each page.
2. The table cell to the right of LEFT MENU contains all content, grids, xml
results etc.
My questions:
1. I am designing for 1024x768. Is that a good base resolution to aim for in
web apps?
2. When resizing the page, or viewing it in 1680xXXX, ie a larger resolution,
the LEFT MENU expands and the whole page looks messy. I've tried to fix the
width of that table cell using "width="xxpx" and STYLE (I know i should use
CSS and am using it on fonts and links etc) but how can I stop that left
table cell from moving so that the content is always gonna be positioned at
the same place no matter what the resolution?
I tried to place the relevant user controls on the web form at desgn time,
but the flow is all messed up at run time.
I fear I'd rather ask, its better to learn than to go on blindly.
If there is a better way of designing pages, please give me your opinions on
it.
Thank in advance
