Fixed Width Template Horizontal Scroll Bar
Saturday, May 9, 2009
Edit
A blogger told me that around of his readers complained of seeing a horizontal scroll bar (at the bottom of the screen) land he himself institute no issue. I am guessing that he must move using a fixed width template optimized for concealment resolutions greater than those of his readers land he himself is using the wider concealment together with therefore encounter no horizontal scroll bar. These are the measure concealment resolutions - 800x600, 1024x768, 1280x1024, 1152x864, 1600x1200 (the commencement figure is the width) together with fixed width templates are normally optimized for i of these.
A few years ago, most all fixed width templates are optimized for 800x600 together with visitors amongst 800x600 concealment volition encounter the whole width of the weblog without whatever horizontal scroll bar land those amongst wider concealment volition probable complained of "wasted blank space" on i or both sides of the screen. This weblog inwards fact previously used such a fixed width template (800x600) simply because surfers amongst 800x600 screens together with smaller convey instruct a rattling little minority land the vast bulk of surfers convey 1024x768 screens together with bigger. Thus this blog's template convey been upgraded to a 4 column fixed width template optimized for 1024x768. Thus visitors amongst 1024x768 screens volition encounter the weblog create sum nicely the whole width of the concealment (with no horizontal scroll bar) land those amongst wider concealment volition i time to a greater extent than encounter "wasted blank space" on i or both sides of the screen.
However, those amongst smaller concealment volition convey the business office of the correct side of the weblog hidden together with volition convey to role the horizontal scroll bar to persuasion the hidden part. You tin hand the sack persuasion this yourself past times resizing the concealment to 800x600 (view this weblog amongst Firefox together with type or copy-paste this: "javascript:top.resizeTo(800,600)"
without the quotation marks into the address bar together with press the ENTER or RETURN key). This appearance of the horizontal scroll bar is considered a nuisance together with spider web designers volition travail to avoid this. However, since 800x600 screens are a rattling little minority, I experience fairly condom to opt for template optimized for the wider concealment of 1024x768.
I would propose to the blogger to persuasion his weblog amongst Firefox together with resize the concealment to 800x600 or 640x480 to encounter what his readers encounter (type or copy-paste javascript:top.resizeTo(800,600) or javascript:top.resizeTo(640,480) into the address bar of Firefox together with press the ENTER key).
