Browser survey

I have posted a quick survey at
<http://cfaj.freeshell. org/testing/width.shtml>.

There's only one question: select the widest line that fits
in your normal browser window.

Your assistance is appreciated.

ROFLMAO!

Yea, I just suck.

Absolutely! Contact Chick-fil-a and tell then you have a great new
idea for their Bowl site. We are going to change the entire design to
an even more Flash based design in August. So this is a great time to
tell them that you have a better idea for their site. That gives you
a whole month to convert them. Please post the results of your
efforts.
ROFLMAO! No, you didn't do that site. What a liar.
>Then we'll turn it around. You can off your crap to one of my
customers. Wanna bet they stick with me?

Give me a url of one of your customers
>I know you won't take the bet, though. You may be stoopid, but you
aren't that stoopid.

I took it Jerry, now put your money where your mouth is. Supply me
with a URL please.
Sure. www.fcc.gov. Good luck.

Yep, amateurs design fixed width sites. =A0Professional s design sites
which resize themselves.
Yea, those damn highly paid amateurs...

The computer industry is full of cowboys. Just because they blag some
poor sucker into paying out lots of money for shoddy work does not
make the shoddy work any less shoddy, or the "amateur" any less
professional in their trade.

That's right, Matt. And did you look at the crap he supposedly created?

I KNOW he didn't have anything to do with that site.

Nice idea...
I think it's an interesting idea, too. But I get only 39.

LMFAO! Horizontal scrollbar when mousing over a link in the footer. So,
really well designed variable width page, there, then?

Sure. Especially since there's not even a hover style defined for those
links. Maybe you should check your own system.

I'm guessing that you have the "Link Alert" addon, or something similar?
I'm using Firefox too, but I don't see what you are seeing. I did notice
that there's an icon appearing near the link on your screenshot, which
looks similar to something that Link Alert would add.

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.
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
demonstrates the problem of creating sites that automatically use every
pixel. Its hardly a unique setup I'm using, so surely one of these ultimate
professional designers should have built in sufficient redundancy to
accommodate such browser configurations. ..
