so just a question to you web aces out there.
what do you find the best to design with 100% tables or fixed sizes like 750pxl, 800pxl, 1000pxl, i know a majority use 750pxl or 100% to fit all screen sizes but would like your input as web designers.
thanks
Rob

make the table sizes the size of the images, and if there isnt any images for that tabel, then make the table the size of that area in you layout picture. Only make tables 100% height for content boxes or nav boxes. Things that are ment to stretch. Pictures arnt ment to be stretched so they should be the fixed size of how ever big that image is.
Hope this helps

if you are going to go with a fixed width which can be seen on all resolutions without horizontal scrolling, you can go to 780 px wide.
A liquid layout could also work fine, it really depends on your site's design as well as the amount of content.

Personally, I don't like 100% liquid layouts. Some look alright though.
I prefer preset layouts. However, you can get a similar look using %
Perhaps if you want the best of both, you could create a layout that fits to 85% or something. =)
Edit:
Don't forget though, images still can't be bigger than around 750px.

I use 750px for thin layouts, and 960px for wider layouts.

I use 780px wide, though I use Div's rather than tables. It fits perfectly on 800x600.
#table.layout {
width: 780px;
w/idth: 780px; /*ie6 fix*/
}
<table class="layout"></table>
#table.layout {
width: 780px;
w/idth: 780px; /*ie6 fix*/
}
<table class="layout"></table>
