May be this is stupid question but I really don't know answer to it , I really appreciate people for answering my question: how do I check dimension of yahoo web site what I mean is I want to know width and hight t of yahoo.com site, or any other site is there a plug in that I should install to see? thank you so much
I believe sites like yahoo (i may be incorrect) use fluid width layouts. Basically this means that the site will resize to the size of your browser. So when your browser is maximised the dimensions will be (pretty much) just your screen resolution. If you are trying to code your site, and you wish to use this kind of method, define the dimensions as either % / em's. However, there are still some sites out there that use fixed width layout. They usually define there dimensions in pixels, to check the dimensions you have a few options. The first would be to view the code, (you will probably have to look at the css). If you are running firefox you could also install one of the many web developers toolbars, some of these have 'rulers' that you can drag over an element to get the width/height dimensions.
Do you know what the plug in is call? I try to search and type keywords width -height dimension plug in but nothing come out
I believe the following has the tool that I was describing, https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/60 You may also be interested in, https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1843 For viewing and editing the code...
Yep. The Web Developer Firefox plugin has a ruler. (The first link in the previous post) Once you've installed the toolbar, choose "Miscellaneous/Display Ruller". Then select the area you want to know the size of with your mouse (click and drag). The dimensions and the position of the selected area will be displayed on the tool bar.
