Our group (within the corporation) designs sites for the various
departments. We handle both intranet and public sites and from time to
time we are required to design headers and footers for internal
applications.
This time around we were requeted to design headers and footers for an
external vendor's application and the specs were:
"Header: width:820px Height: 127px (plan for clipping at 800px)"
My coworker is in charge of this project and she has tried to explain to
the person in charge of this project that the width should be actually
less than 800px since a lot of the users (we have tons of old monitors
kicking around) are using 800X600 and that the header will be cutoff at
around 780px if you count on having scrollbars and that they are using IE.
They don't understand it and they want the header to have 820px period
and that to "plan for clipping" at 800".
Is there a way to create a liquid design that will be 820px by default
and then shrink to 780 graciously depending on the user's resolution?
I have created liquid designs that do the oposite....are great at 780px
and expand graciously to whatever the screen width is....
No idea on how to achieve the oposite....
Thanks in advance,
