find / replace
Ask your designers if they use any actual text editor or wysiwyg beyond note pad to code. Pretty much all of them have a find and replace function.
find width="780px"
replace with="96%"
It's not that difficult a job if they put their mind to it.
I can't believe building in PHP they don't have a top.php and bottom.php file that is included, then you only edit that one file.
Or use SSI for static HTML sites.
Oh and shall we put in a plug for no tables, use Divs and CSS?
When I started designing 8 years ago, the 15" monitor was new on the scene and people were starting to venture beyond the 640x480 layout into the 800x600 layout. At that time it was accepted that you ALWAYS designed sites that would resize to fit your resolution. We either coded tables using % or you used some javaScript to determine resolution and adjust which page to display based on that. After a year or so 800x600 was way in the majority for resolution. Everything became static. Now however more than ever 800x600 static sites only show narrow mindedness or short-sightedness. Consumers today in the business world are still using 15" monitors at 800x600 but at home most of us are on 17" or larger and anyone with a laptop just varies from 1024x768 to the more and more common 1280x800 wide screen layouts. Have you ever looked at a site designed for 800x600 on a browser (maximized) on a screen running 1280x800 it's almost comical.
Once again.. just my 2cents...<stepping down off soapbox>.. next person's turn =o)
