<p>It has become the unsaid consensus over the years that <a href="http://marketshare.hitslink.com/">NETMARKETSHARE</a> is an accurate source for up to date data regarding the real world happenings of the internet. For me, the most important information they track is screen resolution. With the flood of new internet connected mobile devices, the revolution that was brought on by netbooks and the never ending wave of new monitor shapes and sizes, you cannot help but feel lost when you are doing your site design mock ups. Do you make your site wide? Do you make it narrow? What can users see vertically when they first open the page? Using a bit of excel kung-fu, I spliced up their <a href="http://marketshare.hitslink.com/report.aspx?qprid=17">resolution statistics</a> and came up with the following table.</p>
<table border="1" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="5" style="margin: 10px 0px 10px 0px;">
<tbody>
<tr>
<th>Width</th>
<th>Users Supported</th>
<th>Height</th>
<th>Users Supported</th>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>800</td>
<td>96%</td>
<td>600</td>
<td>96%</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>1024</td>
<td>93%</td>
<td>768</td>
<td>89%</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>1152</td>
<td>64%</td>
<td>800</td>
<td>55%</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>1280</td>
<td>61%</td>
<td>900</td>
<td>32%</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>1366</td>
<td>27%</td>
<td>1024</td>
<td>21%</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>1440</td>
<td>21%</td>
<td>1050</td>
<td>11%</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>1600</td>
<td>12%</td>
<td>1080</td>
<td>5%</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>1680</td>
<td>10%</td>
<td>1200</td>
<td>3%</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>1920</td>
<td>4%</td>
<td> </td>
<td> </td>
</tr>
</tbody>

<p>As you can see, if you want to hit the majority of the market comfortably, you still have to design for 1024 x 768 resolutions. My general rule of thumb for that resolution is a 960 x 560 viewport design. When you account for scrollbars and an explosion of adware toolbars, that is usually what you have left to work with.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>One of the first things you learn about XHTML is lowercase. Everything is lowercase. Lowercase tags, lowercase attributes, lowercase, lowercase, lowercase&#8230;</p>
<p>I guess it wasn&#8217;t obvious enough to the developers over at Adobe because Dreamweaver CS4 has this annoying habit of mix-casing all of the JavaScript event handlers.</p>
<p>Thankfully, there&#8217;s a fix. All it requires is to edit the hundreds of entries in the tag library. Doing so through the interface tag library dialog is painful enough to make you want to claw your eyes out. So to save you the insanity, I did some file trickery and fixed all of the event entries within the entire HTML tag library.</p>
<p>Simply download the <a href='http://www.jcarle.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/HTML.zip'>HTML Tag Library</a> and overwrite your existing one. You&#8217;ll find it by default in &#8220;C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Dreamweaver CS4\configuration\TagLibraries&#8221; on x86 systems and &#8220;C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Dreamweaver CS4\configuration\TagLibraries&#8221; on x64 systems.</p>
