page size in screen pixels
June 15, 2007 12:00 AM
Depends. Lots of things affect it.First, do all the monitors have at least 1024x768 resolution? Do you want to fill up the screen?Can you control whether or not the browser toolbars, status bar, etc show? (If you want to know more about how to do this, check my web site below left under Tools for some stuff to make this easy.)Generally, you want to allow about 21 px left/right for the scroll bar and around 50 vertically. Even so, people will have all kinds of toolbars that you did not count on. Best bet is to use the techniques described mentioned above on my website.I would make the window as big as you want it to be in a browser and then measure it using the free Screen Ruler found on the LectoraExchange Tools page.
