Amount of pixels

[Camme]

How many pixels of width has an internet page?
I want to make an image that has exactly the same with as the width your browser shows you.
The height is already set to 400 pixels for the image

Thanks in advance

there is no fixed width to a web page, but the general rule is to be able to fit it in 800x600 monitor.

bad news! don't do it! users with a higher res will get this look on their face: "WTF is this?"

So will people when they realize they cant read the darn content of the page, without scrolling or moving things around. Obviously a bigger size is ideal - just keep usability in mind.

Good luck.

just start of at a 760*420 settings
this will fit right into a 800*600 screen res.

if you're a dare devil use 955*600 for 1024*768 useres.

anyway still 60% of all internet users are on the 800*600

sure 60% are running 800x600... but i bet those same 60% have upgraded to a 17inch monitor in the least year... they just arent aware they can resize, or they dont care...

i build at whatever res i deem apropriate for the project im working on.

but thats the great things about svg's.. it IS scalable.. no matter what size you export too, when you drop your flash reference on a webpage, you can re-size it accordingly.. maybe even have two pages with two different sized version of the same flash file...

800x600 ya-ya's go here...

uber 1280x1024 googly-eyes go here...

i think you can use javascript to direct a user to a secified page depending on screen resolution...
so you could do a biggie and a small one if you're feeling daring...
