[hobbit] Input needed from all of you.

[wshart at hormel.com]

I haven't been following this thread real closely, however I want to throw
up a bit of a warning.

It's all fine and dandy to develop a wiz-bang page that looks great on your
15000x240000 screens, but remember day-to-day usage is not necessarily the
critical time when you will be using the product.  I see a lot of use from
people who don't normally leverage it during disaster times.  This is not a
good time to have to worry about the screen resolution.  Many times a 15"
CRT is all that is sitting around and what we are forced to use short term
because it's all we can find.  If the page is formatted for a monster
screen it's going to be very difficult to get a good picture of where we
actually stand.

It could just be the situations I've been in where this comes into play and
no one else ever has to worry about it, but I have seen it happen a number
of times, so my vote is to stick with the simple and fast rendering pages
that anything can view.  Or possibly offer up an option so both sets of
pages are still available.

Cool Guys.

From what I can see we will need a fluid layout for PC's. We would need
some other layouts for mobile devices. Thanks for the information.

Neil

Hi Neil... I see a lot of people listing high resolutions -  like my two
screens @ 1680x1050 each...

But let's not forget about my Nokia N900 @ 800x480 and other mobile
devices
when considering redesigns. Some of my clients VPN into their networks
and use
their iPhone to check their Xymon status.

Thanks!  :)
