It sounds like you have in mind a
set of likely changes and have
designed the HTML, CSS, and JavaScript
to make the changes in that set
relatively easy. Okay.
For my Web pages, I questioned if that
candle was worth a match. Or another
such analogy goes, "Don't build a
brick outhouse.". Or as I wrote,
as simple as possible but not simpler.
It's just a Web page! But that's
the way I've been thinking and posted
here to see where people differ in their
thinking.
One possible issue is changing where
the text, pictures, video clips,
ads, etc. are depending on the
number of pixels or whatever
in the user's screen, browser window,
etc. For my pages, I just decided not
to do that -- I just didn't see any
very big reason to do that. Or,
if a user gets used to my Web pages,
then they will still have the same
layout -- text, text boxes, URLs,
ads, links to Help, etc. on any other
screen, with any other browser, etc.
Is it really important to change what
the page looks like depending on
the user's screen size? Or, if we
know what text, ads, text boxes,
etc. we want, can't we just display
it, basically one way for everyone?
Why so important to change? As a
programmer it's more work for me,
and as a user I just want it simple.
