Hello,

I've started designing a web page lately. In this period I've replaced my standard 4X3 screen with a wide one 16X9.

It now seems that I'm kind of lost, when trying to plan the page layout to fit also the standard 4X3 screens. I'm worried that the page would go out of margins in those screens.

Do you have any suggestions for working in this kind of 'wide environment'?


Thanks,
Ofer

Resize the browser window. Opera has a feature that shows the window size on the title bar. Otherwise you can use JavaScript. Just type into the address bar and hit Enter.


Where the first parameter is the width and the second the height.

And then there are those of us with 8x5 aspect ratios...

As pandy said, just resize your browser window to test whether your page adapts to different width display areas. I never run full-screen browser windows anyway. My current browser window is about 1000x1600 (about a 5x8 aspect ratio, when my display is an 8x5 aspet ratio).
