First of all, thanks to everyone who has answered my multiple
questions this week. What a great group!
Now on to my question: should web pages be built with a dynamic width,
or should the width be set? Opinions?
Personally, I would like to make sites that have a dynamic width. I
want my design to scale with the user's browser window. However in
practice I find it really hard to make a web page look good this way.
For example, this design I'm working on looks good at 1024x768 and
800x600, but terrible at higher resolutions: http://quick2web.com/izzy
I'm considering fixing the width. But if I do that, what do I set it
at? 1024 so it looks good on the majority of windows, but people with
lower resolution can't see all of it? Or 800 so almost every user can
see the whole thing, but I don't have a lot of horizontal space?
