Re: [WSG] Screen resolution issue

I'm guessing you are using a liquid layout yeah?? If so then I'd look into implemeting some sort of maxWidth on your page so that things don't spread out so far on high resolution displays. Surprising enough there are problems doing this in IE due to its lack of proper support for the maxWidth
