A poll

Could you guys help me out with something? I'm just curious to see what everyone uses and if it's a waste of time to try to make things 800x600 compatible.

Should I hide my face that I have no idea what screen resolution I have?

We use Mozilla.

That's okay, I figured there would be a couple people who had no idea.

If you're curious, just right click on your desktop, click properties and then settings and it will show you. :)

hmmm 1280 x 1024 but now my screen pic is gone, crap. I am a computer dolt. Hubby will have to put his ugly mug on it again when he gets home.

Did you get it back? My laptop does that from time to time for no reason and when it's restarted it will bring it back.

My screen is 1280x800.

[writing_light]

I should have put 1280x800 in the poll since it seems that most everyone who doesn't use the other sizes listed uses that one.

My something else: I have a widescreen laptop with res 1280x800. My desktop is 1280x960, but my laptop is my main :)

I only end up using IE if I am at work, which is how I found out that apparently my layout isn't compatible with IE. It looks fantastic in Firefox though.

[writing_light]

Yep, I have to test every layout in both FF and IE because IE likes to make up their own rules for CSS instead of following the recommended CSS. It's a real pain in the ass to make things work for both.

If you tell the person who did your layout to give your menu an absolute position and a high z-index number then she can adjust the margins and it'll fix your layout so that it works in both browsers.

My laptop is 1280x800 but I voted 1280x768 because that's close enough. All the computers I use at work are 1024x768 except for two but that' sonly because their main users are old and need everything huge.

Ticky boxes yay!
