Let him learn the hard way. Ask him if he wants sites designed to hi s spec. Then design all the sites with fixed-width tables with regards to his monitor resolution, which is probably 1280x1024 or, if you need binoc ulars, 1600x1200 +. Then when people complain, blame it on your boss and te ll him you told him so. I'm not responsible if you lose your job or get dem oted, however!
Oh, I should probably answer the question as well. Like everyone els e, 800x600. 17" Monitors seem to be the standard these days, and while I think 1024x768 should be the standard for that size, people with vision pro blems might have it set to 800x600, which I think is usually the default. I wouldn't worry about going any lower; most users with vision problems have custom font faces and sizes so they can see clearly. > -----Original Message----- > From: ehoma [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Wednesday, December 19, 2001 4:44 PM > To: CF-Talk > Subject: Quick Question > > > I hope that you'll permit me to ask a non cf question here.
