General Info on Site-Design

Appologies, this isn't really a javascript specific question....

Just wondering what the current size standard is for web-page design...
it used to be 800 x 600 pxls (which seems quite small these days).

Any suggestions.

Thanx in advance,

Litron

On this page:
http://www.w3schools.com/browsers/browsers_stats.asp

is the following statement: "Web developers be aware: Many users
still have only 800x600 display screens."

I personally am on 800x600.

I tend not to make my Web pages wider than 700 pixels so that they will
print in portrait mode without truncating the right side.

Thanks for the link Ian - I appreciate the input.

Most people do not know that they can change the display resolution so
it stays at either 800x600 or 1024x768. It is still not uncommon to see
640x480.

This newsgroup is good for site design considerations:

Thanks Jimm,
from the previous replys and my own research it seems I have a little work
ahead of me scaling down the graphics on my site....

That seems logical - although the "size" of the content window differs on a
machine with a monitor resolution of 800 x 600 than one with a resolution of
1024 x 768 - I was wondering what general "Screen Size" I should design for
irregardless of content.

Hi, I'm trying to find a decent way of measuring the running time of a long-running program. Say, the running time ranges from several seconds to more than a day.
