Or be a good designer get a design together > flexible enough to handle everything? Depends :-) I tend to design for 1024 and still keep things bearable on 800. As to statistics, they don't mean much, as screen resolution is a different animal than viewport size, and the stats are only available from JavaScript enabled browsers. On my site I got 1. 1024 x 768 53.8 % 2. 1280 x 1024 32.5 % 3. >= 1600 x 1200 6.8 % 4. 800 x 600 6.0 % and 35% firefox, which is a fact I love :-) -- Chris Heilmann Blog: http://www.wait-till-i.com Writing: http://icant.co.uk/ Binaries: http://www.onlinetools.org/
