Hi -

I am going to be designing my site all over again. What do you think is the best size to use for my table width if I do not want to use percentage. Is 800 x 600 a good table size for everyone to view the same?

why you dont want to use percentages?
800 X 600 is a good size, but imagine someone with 800x600 resolution screen will see that the table covers up whole of his page, while somebody with 1024 or higher resolution will feel that the site has a lot of empty spaces.

or better still, use say 90% width, i think that is the best option.

If you use 800x600, people with that screen resolution will see a horizontal scrollbar because there are other things on a computer that covers the web display space, such as sides of browser, etc. If you want to use a fixed width, 780px will be nice.

I'd say to base your layout around the resolution of 800x600 because some people still use it. On W3's resolution stats, it says 25% of people still use that resolution, but it's steadily decreasing.

800x600 is better.cause there are some computers that dont have the ability to view 1024x768.There are still computers that is older than my sister.LOL
