I won't speak to appropriate min/max sizes for "most" as that debate seems to already be handling itself quite nicely without me. ;)
However, if you want to look into responsive design, Ethan's books is short, to the point and filled with more than enough info to get your feet wet. It's well worth a look and the description about the book includes some valuable sample content: - http://www.abookapart.com/products/responsive-web-design Best of luck, Daniel -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Freelance Traveller Sent: Monday, January 23, 2012 4:50 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [css-d] TwoQuestions: min/max-width, change layout with width Question the First: After seeing plenty of discussion, here and on other forums focussing on website development, I've decided that maybe it's a good idea to implement max-width (and possibly min-width) settings on my site. The sense I get from the discussion is that a max-width of 960px is probably the best choice. What's a good reasonable value for min-width, given that I have a fixed 120px vertical nav bar down the left side of the page? Sub-Question: Should max-width (and min-width, if deemed appropriate) be applied to the HTML tag, the BODY tag, or should I enclose everything in a DIV and apply it to that? Question the Second: Would it be better, instead of setting min-width, to allow the page to "reformat" itself so that instead of a left nav, it has a horizontal breadcrumb trail for nav across the top? If so, can someone point me to material that will explain how best to do so? -- Jeff Zeitlin, Editor Freelance Traveller The Electronic Fan-Supported Traveller(r) Fanzine and Resource [email protected] http://www.freelancetraveller.com http://come.to/freelancetraveller http://freelancetraveller.downport.com/ ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [[email protected]] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ List policies -- http://css-discuss.org/policies.html Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
