Screen Resolution size when developing a site

Ryan, I've noticed from your posts that you are very reluctant to actually learn anything other than what you already know ... you asked a question, and when you were given a response you came back with reasons why that answer was wrong.

>>I would assume it has got to be at least something the 800 X 600 users are at least used to by now (scrolling over due to design being optimized for 1028 X 768).

yes, i'm sure 800x600 surfers are used to not being able to view 200 pixels of a site, usually the bit that has the navigation or join button on it. I'm sure they are so used to it, they know exactly where to find the X.

If you design a site at 750 pixels wide, a 1024 surfer will see some extra space on either side, that's it - if you design it at 1024, even a 1024 surfer will have to scroll sideways because there's a scroll bar and browser borders to consider as well.

You can't blame your customers for using the equipment they are sold in the way its sold to them.
