Web designers and Web-UI designers are now facing the next evolution.. in the display size. Wide screen monitors are catching up and people are now using more than 1280 pixel width resolution. Marc has posted an article in A List Apart, that introduces you to a layout technique called Switchy McLayout, which uses CSS and little Javascript to adapt the contents to the target resolution. So that if you watch the website in a PDA, the javascript determines the screen size and automatically applies a PDA specific classes and layouts the UI.
Liquid layouts are popular and holds good for 800 and 1024 dimensions. But now, displays are getting wider.. and liquid layouts are not 100% suitable for such wider screens. Will Switchy McLayouts serve a good solution for wide-screen displays? May be yes, coz the article sounds promising. 🙂
