Can I just say something??? yes.
It has nothing to do with the article itself. I really can't stand urls like http://www.notestips.com/80256B3A007F2692/1/TAIO-5TT34F The only way you can access them are via a search engine or book mark, no one will actually remember a url like this, it is not accessibile! http://www.notestips.com/articles/2003/1/ or http://www.notestips.com/articles/limitPageWidth Would have been better. Is this something for "Standards" or out of scope? -----Original Message----- From: Glenn Slaven [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, 12 December 2003 9:22 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [WSG] Fixed Width Design Interesting article on using fixed width design for sites: http://www.notestips.com/80256B3A007F2692/1/TAIO-5TT34F He makes a good point: "Limiting the page width is about maximising readability. The more words there are on a line, the further the eye has to travel back to the beginning, and the easier it is to end up on the wrong line, which can increase the time it takes to read a page and decrease the ability to easily scan the content rather than read it fully. Scanning is considered the most common way for web pages to be read. A study carried out last year concluded that adults prefer a medium line length, children a narrow length." -- Glenn "Religion and science are opposed, but only in the same sense as that in which my thumb and forefinger are opposed - and between the two, one can grasp everything" - Sir William Bragg. http://glenn.typepad.com/news/ ***************************************************** The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ ***************************************************** ***************************************************** The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ *****************************************************
