Since the dawn of time web designers have had to deal with screen resolution and the width of browsers. There’s nothing more annoying than unwanted horizontal scrollbars.

Below is a table of common browser inner-widths that i have created over time:

Browser Resolution Inner width (px)
Firefox 800×600 792
IE 5+ Win 800×600 ~780
IE 5 Mac 800×600 ~748
IE 4.5 Mac 800×600 ~744
Netscape 6+ Win 800×600 ~775
Netscape 6.2 Mac 800×600 ~763
Firefox 1024×768 1016
IE 5+ Win 1024×768 ~1004
IE 5 Mac 1024×768 ~972
IE 4.5 Mac 1024×768 ~968

  1. For those of you who use Macromedia Dreamweaver, generic width/heights are available when you right click the bottom-right hand corner of the design view (where it tells you the page size). It should give you a nice quickset of basics. For more accurate, use the list above.
