I am almost ready to begin re-constructing www.thomasinamusic.com. For those who have not read my previous posts.......I want a static pic of Thomasina standing or sitting on the right side of the screen while the content loads on the left side (and the pic and background remain static through chaning links).
I am going to begin laying out the elements in photoshop, and then slice them up in imageready to begin coding. My question is this.......
To have my content always remain in the same location (a.k.a. Thomasina's pic will always be at the very right edge of the browser window, whether minimized or maximized or whatever screen resolution may be used) I am assuming I need to use percentages instead of pixel values when positioning. Am I correct on this? Also........when creating the elements in photoshop, what size canvas do I need to use (or is best)?
As always, thanks to everyone for their input. As much information as you can give will be greatly appreciated.

I'm assuming you're talking about table sizes when you mention pixel and percentage values. If you want something to stay in place regaurdless of screen resolution you need to use pixel values, percentage values will vary depending on screen size, thus moving the content accordingly.

As for your canvas size, it depends on what resolution you are designing for. But remember, you have to take into consideration the web browser elements; scroll bar, window border, etc. So, I usually subtract at least 30 pixels from the resolution I'm designing for.

For example: if you are designing a site to fit on a monitor set at 800x600, your page width probably should not exceed 770 pixels.

Hope this helps.
