Oh ye of such little faith. Maybe the survey will prove your point
that there is no "standard size" and that the browser window size is
so random that it is meaningless to try to code for it.

And if you participate in the survey I believe you may help to prove

This is not measuring screen size or window size. It is measuring
the width of browser windows in ems. The screen or window size in
pixels is irrelevant, as is the user's font size.
While a good page may suffer somewhat when extreme sizes are used,
and should degrade gracefully when they are, pages may be
optimized for a certain range. The purpose of this survey is to
determine how wide this range should be.
In practice, I don;t think this information will make a
significant difference to the way my pages are coded.
There is no "normal" browser window. Deal with it.
Agreed; and I am dealing with it.

Not at all. Such a survey is pointless. Those who have been around for
a while have learned that. Newbies need to be taught it over and over
again.
Design the page correctly and the content adjusts itself to any window
size within reason.
I'm not afraid to participate. It's just now worth my time. But you

Nope. To eliminate horizontal scroll, you do not specify any
widths.
This is to get a better idea of what the typical viewer will see.
For example, I am designing a page with three columns of text. In
my typical window, the columns are narrower than I like. They are
still very readable, but I prefer to have more text. If I find
that most people will see even less than I do, I may rethink the
page; if the majority see more than I do, I'll leave it.

Any page I design *is* flexible width (with the exception of the
survey page). That's not the point.
I want to know how what I see in my browser window compares with
what others see. If most people see less text than I do, I will
probably abandon my 3-column design. If, as I suspect, most see
more, then the design will work better for most people than it
does for me -- and for me it is readable, but not quite optimum.
For example, I am designing a page with three columns of text.

It's not a myth. It's a poor designer who assumes (for example) that

So we agree, then. A designer to whom screen size matters - i.e. one
who makes assumptions about visitors screen size - is a poor designer.
But a more useful survey would be targetted at his own target
audience.
An even more useful approach is to not to use any fixed-width at all.
but don't mind me - if you think visitors are happy with horizontal scrolls,
carry on.
Horizontal scrollbars are the result of designers who *do* think
screen size matters, and insist that their pages must be precisely X
pixels wide, regardless of whether that matches their users reality or
not.

Yup, its undoubtedly a FF extension that 'causes' it. But it nicely

It's a hell of a lot more professional than the crap you have. Yes,
it's transitional. That's because we had to work a lot of existing
stuff into the new design. And they weren't willing to spend the time
or the money to make it work strict.
And yes, the text lines are short - there's a LOT of information on that
main window. The short lines are synopses and pointers to other
important information. But then a real web designer would see that and
understand it.
Also, if I were to build this site, it would be a flexible width (but
with max-width so the text is not 150 characters wide) with no flash.
There is no need for Flash on this site. This site is little more

Nope, it uses all available space. And this is just the current page.
Information on the page changes often - sometimes there's more,
sometimes there's less.

Yes, my sites use flash APPROPRIATELY - not just because it's there. My

I don't build the crap sites like you've shown you do. Fixed width?
Horizontal scroll bars for virtually every browser window? ROFLMAO!
But as I said earlier - a con artist can always find a sucker. But
sooner or later the conned will learn.

If it matters to readers (and it does), then it *should* matter to HTML
authors.
It's not a myth. It's a poor designer who assumes (for example) that
everyone has a 23" screen on an Apple computer.
So we agree, then. A designer to whom screen size matters - i.e. one
who makes assumptions about visitors screen size - is a poor designer.

An even more useful approach is to not to use any fixed-width at all.
>but don't mind me - if you think visitors are happy with horizontal scrolls,
carry on.
Horizontal scrollbars are the result of designers who *do* think
screen size matters, and insist that their pages must be precisely X
pixels wide, regardless of whether that matches their users reality or
not.

Exactly, Sherm.

Design the page correctly and the content adjusts itself to any
window size within reason.
Well that is one way to design,the other is to have it be fixed
width. Both are equally correct based on the website.
Yep, amateurs design fixed width sites. Professionals design sites
which resize themselves.
Hey, that's not fair to amateurs! Even I (with minimal web design
knowledge and skill) know better than to use fixed widths. Scroll bars
can be a minor annoyance on a typical desktop screen, but they really
suck when visiting a site on a mobile phone.
Some webmasters don't get it. Other webmasters don't want to get it. But
ultimately everyone is free to do what they want. Better that, than
having some self-appointed entity dictating how things have to be done.
Nor is it worth a newsgroup pissing match.

That's true, Red. Sorry, I didn't mean to be down on amateurs.

Yes, I just hate it when someone with such lousy skills calls himself a
"professional". He's a blight on professionals, everywhere.

It's a hell of a lot more professional than the crap you have.
I don't believe you really have sites Jerry. I think you are nothing
more than a wannabe. And I knew I read that word "stoopid" before.

ROFLMAO! Good luck, sucker. I've been programming longer than you've
been alive. 40+ years now. Including a number of those as a FTE of
IBM, and even more as a successful consultant.
What you believe is of absolutely no consideration to me. Such searches
just show how desperate you are to find some way to discredit me and
what I'm saying.
But you can't - because I'm right.
Loser. And a stoopid one one, at that.

Not at all. Just pointing out how desperate you are. It's the way
losers like you go every time you can't come up with valid responses.
You're a loser. All around.
