Can someone point me to some guidelines on how to design a website that will
be visually appealing and useable to all size monitors and resolutions, or
is there a guideline as to what the majority of the users will have? I have
a site that uses lots of gridviews so it wouldn't be too difficult to define
the gridview according to what size/resolution the client is using. How
would I do that? Is this a practical goal?

Firstly, you really need to decide what precisely you mean by "all size
monitors and resolutions"... E.g. does that include hand-held devices,
etc...?

1024*768 is the most popular resolution - if you design for that, you'll

you still need to take into account the system font size.
you should check your layout with different browsers:
IE 7.0, IE 6.0, Firefox, Safari, and Chrome
on windows machines check with Small and Large fonts (set under display
preferences)
hint: to run IE 6 & 7 on the same machine, use virtual machines.

I know.

Obviously.

I do.

Fellas, after years of this insanity I am seriously thinking of never using
HTML again and simply adopting the Silverlight "page" model. The big problem
though as I see it is that model sucks too because Silverlight like Flash
does not support resizable text so the page always results in unreadbale
teeny-text for significant number of people.
