A business must carefully balance the benefits of these interpersonal relationships and should never allow these relationships to blind their judgment especially when it relates to what is in the best interest of the business's continued success and growthBuying advertising media b Currently, Internet Explorer 6 is the dominating browser, XP is the most popular operating system, and most users are using a display with 1024x768 pixels or more. We brave few have migrated to the IE7 Beta release which is quirky at best. Don’t install this release unless you are a PC guru. The install embeds itself into your system files and is difficult at best to fully uninstall. Web design professionals have long debated over whether to design web sites for smaller screen resolutions of 800x600 or 1024x768. As of 2006 most users are viewing at 1024x768 and higher, but a large minority are still viewing at 800x600. These users include the crowd who just can’t let go of their 20-pound laptop or their 13" CTR monitor. Just recently Yahoo.com adopted the 1024px display for their homepage. That’s good news for designers advocating a larger, robust display. Following are some specific graphic examples of how 800px versus 1024px can effect the overall look and display of a web design. Open two browser windows and compare MSN.com to Yahoo.com. You can see there is quite a difference in the left and right-side screen overflow.

When designing a web site, you must also consider user operating systems (PC, Mac) and the most popular browsers used by web surfers today. The most popular PC browsers for Windows include Internet Explorer (IE), Firefox, Mozilla, Netscape and Opera.

Another way to utilize the entire browser is to use divs or tables that expand or contract to the users browser/screen resolution. This is referred to as a ‘resolution dependent layout’. Some web sites may use the extra browser space to place advertisements off to the right of the screen. This method is often used by popular web sites like espn.com.
