This is exactly my point...
My html allows the middle column to expand to the width of the explorer
window automatically no matter what width it is dragged too, but it limits
the screen size to a minimum of 800 in width for all columns. However I
needed 200 for each of the columns to each side hence my design...
In my experience people tend to maximise everything anyway and ALT-TAB
between windows, not cascade windows all over the screen.
I cannot accomidate everybodys surfing style... But I will comprimise to a
minimum, and that is usually 800x600.
I think web designers often bend over too much for thier viewers pleasure.
If your page holds information that a person wants they will wade through
high water to get to it. Where on the other hand if someone is casually
browsing through your site, they proabably wont even be thinking about the
design and slight awkwardness of the page, unless of course it is totally
unusable...
