As an end user, it drives *me* up the wall when pages use fixed widths. I have
1042 x 768 resolution, the maximum my monitor can do, and it drives me
absolutely up the wall when I load a page and either have these great ugly
wide empty bits at the side with text that is too small to read comfortably,
or the opposite where the page is too wide to fit, and I am forced to scroll
horizontally to read it.
Setting dimensions as a percentage of the width eliminates these problems
completely (except for the font size - it is still too often too small).
IMNSHO, setting a fixed width for a column is exceptionally BAD design,
particularly from the usability perspective..
is nothing on the right side to stop the
long flow of one sentence. If you have no plans for anything on the
right side then can't we just set the width to 235 for the first column
and 545 for the second column? I know, picky... :-)
Keep tables and columns as percentages, please!
Thanks for all of your hard work!!

I run 1600x1200 so I understand your view. All I am saying is we should
do something with the right side. Maybe the page itself just needs more
so you are not so drawn to the long sentence. Anyway just my thoughts
on it. :-)
I am sure Scott will do what's best.
