Max screen size for most users?

[AlaskanDad]

I want to make a table that will fill the screen. What is the maximum width that I should make it so that it can be viewed by the majority of monitors without horizontal scrolling?

<table width = '???'>

Thanks

I know this is a knee-jerk response:

<table width=&quot;100%&quot;>

That is the only way to make sure all visitors to your site will see the full table without the horizontal scrolling.

I know that isn't the answer you were looking for. Realistically you could do width=770 because most web sites now cater to 800x600 monitors. The extra 30 pixels is for the scrollbar and the default left and right margins.

If you want to be completely safe, you would need to find out the WebTV dimensions. I think they are the most restrictive. Correction, some Palms can view web pages, and they have much smaller screens.

But again - if you do the width=&quot;100%&quot; the table should be viewable on ALL browsers. You need to make the call and then stick with it.
