Screen size & positioning

[mossj]

So i've just finished positioning stuff for my site \o/ but I have coded it in a widescreen and on IE7.

 

As far as browser checks thats easy enough, but does anyone know a tool either a joomla ext or a third party that shows previews in diffrent size screens and res?

Check Browser Compatibility, Cross Platform Browser Test - Browsershots will check your site in any browser/OS it supports - as long as it faces the web.

 

 

You can choose other options, but I've never used them, so can't comment on them... might be worth a look though.

You can try downloading Mozilla Firefox, and/or Opera. These will allow you to view the page in different sizes. Also with Firefox you can add an extension which allows you to view it as if it was Internet Explorer as well.

Creating the site itself, you may wish to embed the body content within a div. For example

 

....

....

....

 

Then in the head section you can style it so the width is 795 pixels:

 

div.mainContent { width: 795px; }

 

795 pixels will allow room also for the scroll bar (if you need one).

 

Hope this helps and gives you some more ideas!

I tend to do that already, the problem comes when something is positioned absolute. Anyway I just got some friends to take a look + will download that software for next time.. sounds useful
