Hi,

I am considering a re-design with one of my sites.
I am going back and forth between 800 X600 (current format) ,or to scale up to 1024 X 768. When I look at mock-ups of 1024 X 768, they are massive. They look good, but they are huge. When a user opens it up in their browser, they have to scroll to the right.

What if I just chop off the 3 inches and make the content slightly more condensed.

I guess that I confused, just because something is designed for 800 X 600 does the header have to be a fixed width, or is it just a matter of it fitting in the browser window and opening in the browswer properly with the page centered appropriately?

My current site is designed for 800 X 600. I have
no issues whatsoever, except that my content is growing and the smaller format makes impossible to do what I want.

Are fluid layouts the way to go in CSS? Any drawbacks?

There is always a hitch in this crazy web world. For every action, there's always an equal or opposite reaction... can't kick that universal law can we.

Thanks for the feedback!
