That may depend on the context of your question. Strictly speaking, size is the physical size of the monitor. It would be something like 22 inches diagonally. Resolution is expressed in pixels, like 1280x1024. In a perfect world, we could use absolute units (http://www.w3.org/TR/css3-values/#absolute0) in our stylesheets and our elements would actually be the size we specified, but I doubt it ever actually works out that way. It's more likely that you would need to worry about the distinctions between inner height (the size of the actual content area of the browser), window size (the size of the FF/Chrome/IE window including decorations, titlebar, and toolbars), and actual screen resolution. Why would you need to worry about screen size when making web pages? > > Thanks and regards, > Kashif -- Ghodmode http://www.ghodmode.com/blog ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [css-d@lists.css-discuss.org] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ List policies -- http://css-discuss.org/policies.html Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
