Uhhh no.  I won't be doing that.

Yes and no. You can create two sets of buttons, and determine what
resolution the user has ... then display the appropriate buttons. It's a
pain in the *** as far as I'm concerned. I just always design my pages for
800 x 600, as those will never have a problem at higher, and like you, I'm
not real worried about the 640 x 480 users ... they have to expect to
compromise!

Well, I did all my design on my 19 inch monitor at 1024 x 768.  Of course,
it doesn't display right at 800 x 600 - the buttons in the TOC on the left
are partially hidden by the slider bar.

Is it just me, or does this kind of thing really suck.  Is there any way to
force the button sizes to shrink when displayed on 800 x 600?  I really hate
to do my development for that resolution, but it is the most common still.
Of course AFAIAC, anyone using 640 x 480 can just browse elsewhere.  8-(

Any thoughts on this?
