This is something I'm not sure what to do about. I'm working on a website for my employer, and they keep insisting on making it widescreen. They want me to make it for a 1920x1200 size display monitor, because that's what they have in their home/work. Obviously they have no clue. I don't want to make it that large because a majority of Internet users are still on 1024x768. I've explained why I'm making it in 1024x768, but they keep saying to make it to fit 1920x1200, lol. Is there any way to make the website scale to fit both? They seem to like things floating all over the edges of the screen, and quite frankly, I think it's stupid. But since I don't have much say in it, I would at least like to make it usable to people on a smaller display. Any ideas? Thanks.
You could set everything to a % so that it would resize according to the browser window. For example you could set the header, footer, and content all to a % width.. then you could have the sidebar as a fixed width, as the menu..
