It is better to use px or Percent for web page size?

Post by MicroBoy »

Hi to all, I'm building a website and I need to know if it's better to use PX or Percent for the width of a column or table. I need to know because I saw that if I use PX and I browse the page from a PC with a 17' monitor and from a PC with 19' monitor It will have some mistakes, so do you think that it will be better to use PX or Percent?

That depends entirely on how you want it to appear in different size windows. There's no general answer to a question like that.

what ever you find suits your site best imo.

if % works well use it, if px is right use it :) you're best bet is to try both and see what one works to your liking.

Personally I find it depends on how you're structuring your site.
