And I may choose to devote less than 800 x 600 of my screen to a window for your website.
Design for a smallish screen. If the result looks odd on a large one, use maxwidth. |

'max-width' is a CSS property.

Yes, sorry, "max-width". Sorry I forgot the hyphen.
htmlhelp.com seems fine whatever the width of one's browser window. It's a good model for designing a site. |

Yeah, it's hard to explain how to do it, but part of it is to accept that items on the page rearrange themselves as the window size changes. Try to lock everything down and you are BSODed.
Personally I don't bother too much with wide screens. I think that maybe lines that run too long will at last teach people to resize their darn brower window.   -------------------- “Never go to excess, but let moderation be your guide.”
