This becomes a design issue. Designing for 1024 only delays your inevitable decision to use the techniques you see in Mac, Windows, and most websites. Design vertically, not horizontally. Use links, lots of sub pages, and avoid trying to solve the problem by mandating minimum screen resolutions or using miniscule fonts. A very useful exercise now that you've seen the problem is to surf other commercial sites and see how they did. It really is a whole new design paradigm. --------------------------------- Booth Martin http://www.martinvt.com --------------------------------- -------Original Message------- From: Websphere Development Studio Client for iSeries Date: 06/14/04 09:35:44 To: 'Websphere Development Studio Client for iSeries' Subject: RE: [WDSCI-L] Screen resolution We have done quite a bit of WebFacing type work on existing apps and went with a default screen resolution of 1024 x 768. We determined that it was just too hard to fit things horizontally as you mentioned. Basically we determined that we wanted zero use of a horizontal scroll bar and as little as possible the vertical.

We recently did a demo of a webfacing project to a set of our users, and the screen resolution on the PC we used was 800 x 600. Does Webfacing recommend something large like 1024 x 768? I noticed that one web pages that we had to use the horizontal scroll bar at the bottom of the web page to see some of the fields that were on the right of the screen. Several of the users complained that they did not like that they had to do that. Is the only way to get around this problem is to change the screen resolution size?
