You raise a very good point there Ross: Never violate the users integrity!
A suggestion would be to make the website first fit lets say display things fitted for a 800x600 resolution, and then have an option menu where the user can select other resolutions - which then are set during the rest of the session: that is the user will have control of things. It is not good design principles to make the user feel vulnerable, stupid, or removing control from them. > -----Original Message----- > From: Ross Fleming [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Tuesday, August 20, 2002 7:06 PM > To: Afan Pasalic; PHP Windows mailing list > Subject: RE: [PHP-WIN] resolution? > > > You don't.
