1st option: Just as Abi mentioned if there a analysis or proof to show that a high percentage of users have 1280px then its worthwhile to design for the said resolution.
2nd option: If not then stick to the safe side and use a liquid resolution. 3rd option: The only other option is to provide a 'select the resolution' criteria with a drop down or radio buttons. I wonder if this will work...any comments? Once you implement the 3rd option, it'll b good to run through a end-user test to validate the usage pattern. cheers, Rony On 3/11/08, Juan Ruiz <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > My client, an IT company, is very strong on the position that their new > website design should be bigger than 1024px wide (1280px wide).
