There are some basic ways to make sure it fits, and still looks good at larger resolutions. Although I will not be the one mourning the death of 800x600 for sure.

I understand that, makes sense.
The easiest way is just make the site 100% width, that way it will fill ANY screen size!
Thats what I do.

Hey YAWL - This is an interesting thread - I never even considered the question before - Perhaps I'm one of the few left who even view 800x600? LOL - Anyway I think it's all about the web browser really - There's a neat little feature on OPERA that allows the browser to view the page that's designed for any resolution. Maybe the other browser makers will follow suit?

I check my sites with the web developer firefox extension, it allows me to see how the site will look at various resolutions.
All in all though i am not too concerned with 800x600, i think people need to move with the times

yeah 800x600 is very unpopular these days, the main people that use it our people that just use computers for solitaire. like my grandma!

Must not be too many 1920x1200 people in the world like me. Sad day. At least I make up the 'Other' category.

1920x1200, what screen/monitor size do you have?
Im using a widescreen laptop and i find when i design a site i make it too wide and forget that most people dont use widescreen!

Widescreen laptop, inspiron 8500 myself... although my friend's toshiba is even wider, it's beautiful (his is perfect for letterbox movies).

1920x1200 UXVA screen (i think UXVA is the acronym) is tight.
