I'm putting the finishing touches to a project that involves my first use of css for document presentation and external .js files to control the menus. The .js file has a batch of parameters which includes pixel offsets to position top left corner of the menu panel.

All is well when viewed on my working screen of 1024x768 but at 800x600 the menus are out of alignment. Not entirely unexpected and I'm sure there is a simple solution.

Can anyone advise the correct technique to resolve this? If so, pretend you are writing a piece for ".JS for Dummies" and that should do me nicely.

TIA

Well, the trick is to design for 800x600 and if it looks good at 1024 - count your blessings. Other than that, there is no real "trick" to it.

Search the forums for "liquid layout" for a couple long threads on free flowing designs.
