Two questions..

ILC · June 20th, 2002, 10:58 PM

Things are finally starting to come along, however, have two questions:

The first: What is a good pixel widh to make pages? i.e. when creating headers etc, what is a good all around general width?

The second: On my homepage, I am trying to create a "button like" symbol that shows the current date in the for Name, Month Day, Year. i.e. Thursday, June 20, 2002.

So, how do I go about setting this up, and what all do I have to create?

Thanks for the help!

For pixel size, I usually make one about 672x200 and then use the % command to set them to change size depending on the users moniter res.
