I can't think of a better way to express what I'm asking.
I developed and maintain two sites, <http://xps.org/> and <http://mhcug.org/>, with the xps site being the most extensive (and important). They each evolved since the mid-1990s, using a basic two-column design using simple table layout. I've begun redesign of both, but using slightly different standards-based approaches. I have tentatively decided that the fluid (?) design seen at http://www.mhcug.org/members.htm which seems to fit my requirements the best. This design is classic three-column with header and footer. Column widths are in EMs, such that at default browser font settings, the page fits an 800 pixel width display. (First two or last two columns can display in 640 window.) The idea being that as screen resolution increases the USER settings are likely to be for larger font size. The columns will expand in proportion.
I know there is no single best solution, but I hold line length to be an important usability concern. The question is: Is this a good approach before I begin converting my many (hundreds) of static pages?
The XHTML and CSS (http://www.mhcug.org/styles/advanced.css) validate and most 508 issues are resolved (search box still needs attention).
I have only tested in Windows and Linux browsers, so Mac reports would be appreciated.
Nit picking encouraged! The real question is the "reassurance" one. Is this a satisfactory approach? Thanks for "listening."
