what is the width of IE

On internet explorer i want to know the width of it on a 800x600 screen resolution so my site can be exactly the right width so there is no empty space and no left to right scroll... i need to know this because i am using photoshop... please help me... thanks

 

Hi Rap2ThaEnd
I'll try to answer as best I can. If you're making a web page, you'll need to set the width of your page, either by pixels, or by percent. Does Photoshop give you the option to view your html source code?

Hi

try allowing 30pixels for the width of the vertical scrollbar, so from an 800px screen try 770px usable width... this usually works but doesn't cope with people who've personalised their display settings and changed the scrollbar width.

table-wise:
<table width= "100%" > covers a multitude of sins - and will cope with funny width scrollbars. But it will induce a minor but pesky bug with primitive Netscapes (4.x) below the table on the page. You will lose bits of your font setups, but can <span class=whatever> them back on with care (if you aren't using <span> for anything else)
- which is one hell of a workaround to implement as you have to make separate classes for all the styles you are using. But it works.

You have me baffled as to what you are using photoshop for in this context? You do mean Adobe Photoshop I assume... are you taking screenshots, perhaps, that sort of thing?

A very useful universal dodge for getting at the HTML source is to use Windows Exploder, highlight the file but then right-click on it - choose "Open With" and you can select Notepad. Will default to Wordpad if the file's too large. Make sure the "always use this program to open this type of file" box isn't checked though... (think about it!)

Pages with a horizontal scrollbar that only moves the page a tiny amount - because they haven't taken off the 30px. - are really annoying because it's so unneccessary. But you see them everywhere.

Good Luck, Hugh.
