And "to-the-pixel" manipulation is wrong, because you don't know the DPI or display distance of my display.

Let HTML be what it was intended to be. A display is not paper. You do have to learn to design differently. Specify logical layout. Not pixels. Not points. Then your page can be displayed on my laptop, my extra-wide home display, my office's wall projector, and even my HTML-enabled phone.

If you ever find yourself asking "Do most of my visitors come in at 1024x780 or 800x600?", step away from the keyboard and go back to paper design. Stay off the web, please.

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.


No such thing as a small change
