Viewing Content Length and Width

Content Length and Width



User: Guest 12 years ago
What Page Width should I use? I guess 900 Pixels are not enough nowadays? Is there a golden standard?

When A page is longer than the screen, a scoll bar appears on the right side of my browser. Therefor the width is reduced and the menu bar and the logo are shifted to the left by the width of the scroll bar. Can I change that?

960 or 980 pixels wide seem to be popular choices. In most cases you're going to want a number that is easily divisible: for graphics, photo layout, video.

Second question, sounds like you have a 'responsive website' going on. Someone else will have to tackle this. Or you could try searching that in the forums.

980px is kind of a standard since it allows objects 960px wide with a 10px L/R margin. Unless you have a good reason to, don't go any wider than 1024px.

The scrollbar is created by the browser and should be in the browser background - not the actual page content area.

You would need to post the URL to the published site.
