Now I have been told NOT to use px but use % for meassurements because
this is relient on resolution/screen_size.
HOWEVER what does 1px equal in %?
Some have said 30px equals 3% and some say 30px equals 30%. 30px and
30% don't seem right, I changed my CSS for this and it pushes everything
only slightly to the RIGHT. But removes the menu altogether.
Can anyone offer some help here?
Also if a table is made like this:
table width=300 height=400 Is that default % or px or what? What is
the best method to use that will work in people using screens of 600* and
1024* and both be able to view the site cleanly and easily?

Hi J,
If there was an exact equal to pixels and %, then it really wouldn't
matter which you used. The percentage is percentage of a table, screen
size, etc. If you say
table width=50%
You are saying to make the table 50% of the screen width. Different people
have different # of pixels in their width. This is where the difference
comes in. [Here is where people tell you not to use tables to lay out
stuff, put it in the CSS].
The default numbers are pixels (I don't know if this behavior can be
changed).

creating a website that will be viewed by alot of people so want it readable by

Not a php related question at all for starters but anywayi think you
need to read up on CSS layout's if the site is properly structure using
CSS then you will not have much to worry about regarding different
resolutions. Ever heard of floats?
google will show you the light!

Hi there,
you can also do it this way using Javascript
script
if (navigator.appName == "Netscape") {
StyleSheet = "netstyle.css"
} else {

}
/script
scriptdocument.write('link rel=stylesheet type="text/css" href="'

One of the benefits to including a css (as opposed to LINK REL...) is
that you can pre-process the CSS file with PHP.
e.g.
my_css.phtml:
STYLE
!--
P ( color: ? echo $MyPHPColorSetting ? };
--
/STYLE
or even more useful:
if ($Browser='IE')
{
include "ie.css";
}
else
{
include "other.css";
}
Hope this helps.

Whether you link to an external stylesheet, embed a style block or
declare the styles in-line is a matter for author management of the
CSS property declarations. The use of includes or scripting the
actual link, block or inline styling in the document does not matter a
wit.
Importantly, if the styling is included, the interpretation is still
done by the client browser. Whether includes or in-document coding
are used, the restrictions and bugs and failure to parse, where
invalid markup or styling is involved, still apply.
What I do notice, however, with some Nav4x browsers, that escaping the
quotes on class names in printf() causes these browsers to sometimes
escape the whole class declaration.
eg.
printf('tr
td class=\'id\' align=\'right\'%s/td
td class=\'lname\'%s/td
td class=\'fname\'%s/td
td class=\'logon\'%s/td
td class=\'logoff\'%s/td
/tr
', $myrow['id'], $myrow['lname'], $myrow['fname'],$myrow['logon'],
$myrow['logoff']);
The solution for some documents is to write as such
td class=id align=right%s/td
How this will affect xml documents I am not sure
Also with tables, if the data is being extracted from a database, as
above, and the data in a particular field row is null, the td cell
styling background will collapse with Nav4x browsers. This might be
solved by a conditional statement inserting some content where the
database row/field content is null, or constructing the database table
with pseudo content, such as nbsp; as the default for fields likely
to have null content.
Sorry, but my experience is that oranges are oranges and apples and
apples are apples. Nice thought! but I do not think you can get out
of browser non-compliance by using PHP.
