What can you do to make your web applcation look the same on different computers with different displays
Ship identical displays to all users? ;P Seriously though, if the displays are different enough, there's not a lot you can do about it. Your best bet is probably to aim for usability on various sizes, resolutions, and color depths... while accepting that the way some things look may need to change in order to allow for it. Guidelines? How bout:
- Don't use fixed widths for content areas.
- Don't blindly force multiple columns - allow the page to reflow if there isn't room for (say) content and nav bar side-by-side.
- Use images of modest size.
- Test your site with stylesheets disabled, in smaller windows, in larger windows, in different browsers...
