Best resolution for websites these days?

What do you guys prefer for width resolution of websites lately?

Seems many sites have adjustable width now but I like skinny, fixed designs sometimes.

 

depends of the nature of website and design of course.
for fixed i wont go more then 990px though.

 

I like a semi liquid design. Especially with the newer monitors. These wider monitors are going to become the norm so you might as well start coding for them now.

 

I use semi-fluid designs with min-width / max-width set for 1024 & 1280 resolutions.

Wide screen monitors are here to stay but we still read from left to right and top to bottom so sometimes the 100% width will work well and other times a fixed width approach works better too.

 

Yep I like to work with floats so the min-width is vital. I don't bother with a max-width unless it's for a p tag or something of that sort. Something that might push parent elements over too far.

 

i prefer semi-fluid as does workingsmart...ditto that!

 

Depends on the design you're going for. If fluid, I usually set a min-width though.

 

960px fixed width is the standard most sites use.

 

1024 would still do it for me!

 

Nowadays more people are getting wide monitors, but there are still a good number of CRT monitors out there, so it would be a good idea to have a resolution that suits both types. Isn't there any way using which one could get an auto-resizing resolution?

 

You should get templates with fluid width layout. Fluid width templates adjust according to system resolution.

 

For fixed width sites I try to avoid going higher than 950 pixels. It's amazing how many people still use a 1024x768 resolution. (And you can't forget about the typical 1024x600 netbook resolution.)

 

960px is my favorite. http://960.gs/is pretty useful.

 

i think 960px will work.

 

I too prefer around 900px.

 

i would say 1000.

 

My favorite resolution is 1024

 

I've designed my site around 1024 x 768
According to http://www.screen-resolution.com/common-screen-resolutions.php , most of the people use that resolution or a higher one

 

for fixed, i usually use a max-width of 900px to 960px

even today, the usage of 1024x768 resolution monitors is very much (around 45%)

 

Just Google 'CSS liquid layout" or "CSS fluid layout". The technique isn't that difficult.

Basically you establish a min-width for something like your "wrapper" div or even your "header" div. This prevents the window from going smaller than your set demission. You combine this with "floats" and you get a layout that will always fill the screen with no bottom scroll bar even if you have dual monitors like me. But it will never shrink smaller than the size you have set so this keeps your floats from getting pushed down the page if you shrink the window down real small. Of course when you do that it does get a scroll bar at the bottom.

Like I say, just Google it. Lots of stuff on the subject.
