Darren, It really depends on the user base.. if it's for an intranet then you can probably dictate the resolution.. and I'd suggest 1024x768
But if it's for general consumption then you can't always be sure that your user base even knows how to change the screen resolution and I would reccomend 800x600. Cheers Brian Gilbert Wesley College, Melbourne Australia Position: Web Architect Personal Website: http://www.realityloop.com/ Remember: Optimists live longer.. >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 10/31/03 02:44pm >>> I'm really more interested in what people are doing for web based applications, as opposed to 'web sites' that people will 'surf' to. (Perhaps I didn't emphasise the 'web apps' vs 'web sites' aspect) I'm talking about actual programs that people use for extended periods of each day, in order to perform their jobs (that just happen to be viewed in a web browser). I will assume for this type of thing that we have their full attention, and hence their full available screen real estate. Does this change anyone stated preference?
