Any less than a 1020px window and I get a horizontal scrollbar. That is why I noticed at all. > I hadn't heard of jello layouts before - it seems they're very > rarely used ... Yes, and it is a pity, as they make it possible to make a site work on a small screen without looking lost on a cinema display. Check out the super handy jello layout calculator: http://sandbox.mikepurvis.com/css/jello/calculator.php Note that although not demonstrated, it is very to drop in a `max-width` property: you just drop it into the `#stretch` rule. I usually pick a layout that is 760px wide at 760px window width and grows to 1200px at 1600px window width (which makes it ~890px wide in a 1020px window IIRC) and then cap it at 1200px so it won’t grow to 1800px on a 3000px cinema display or something. Then you can use percentages in margins/absolute positions for parts of the page so that those elements will flow apart or huddle together depending on the window width, and you get a layout that never looks like it was made for a different resolution. I did that on a site I worked on last year based on directions from the designer we were working with, and it produced a very nice effect. Unfortunately it’s no longer online, but I can let you take a look on my dev box if you want.
