Screen Resolution (Display Resolution)

Hey, why is my website floating in a sea of white space? If you asking you probably have a giant monitor and a very high screen resolution - and we salute you! However, keep in mind that many people do not have such a monitor. When thinking about how wide your website should be make sure you look at your site through the eyes of your visitors.

Fortunately, your OnlineAgency (TM) website makes this easy for you by building this information into your Account. If you click on the Reports menu item from your OnlineAgency (TM) dashboard you'll see a link labeled, "Screen Resolution" or more correctly Display Resolution.

Here's our suggestions for page widths:

If you don't care about 15% of the population having to scroll left / right go with a width of 980 pixels. If you still care about that 15% of the propulation, we recommend 770 pixels. Of course your built in Online Agency (TM) site statistics will help solve this. You can see the screen resolution for the folks who actually visited your site. While you are there check out your reports. They are fascinating.

If you don't won't to look for yourself, then consider these numbers based on all internet traffic flowing through the Levelfield (TM) / OnlineAgency (TM) system

Resolution %

1024x768 55.08

800x600 15.51

1280x1024 10.44

1280x800 7.25

1152x864 3.12

1440x900 2.02

1280x768 1.55

1680x1050 0.96

1400x1050 0.80

1280x960 0.54

Other 2.71

Widkipedi defines it this way:

Resolution	%
1024x768	55.08

1280x1024	10.44

"The display resolution of a digital television or computer display can be an ambiguous term especially as displayed resolution is controlled by different factors in picture-tube (CRT) and flat panel or projection displays using fixed picture-element (pixel) arrays."

How To, Site Customization
The Levelfield Website may have limits but you will be surprised how far you have to go to find those limits. And once you have reached the edge you can actually change the limits if you are willing to do a little bit of work. One easy way is to use CSS and Javascript. With the combination of these two you can add a lot of punch to your pages. I've set up this small example for you.

In the example, I added a few links above the search box and I hide the search box when the page loads. If you click on the links you can hide and show the search box in several interesting ways.

Example: http://content.onlineagency.com/c/0/63/32379_63.htm

The example is using a fine javascript library Jquery and a Jquery plugin called Interface.

How To, Site Customization
Search links are URLs that return a search results page with one or more search criteria already specified. By building search links, you can create links that allow your guests to go directly to a specific set of search results.

Search links are considered a "developer" feature, so you should be familiar with URL parameters and your account's domain information to understand this feature.
