html opinions, please

[nightfishing]

I am using these little "headers" to seperate sections on my pages and am trying to decide between:

(a) using width=75% (or the like) or

(b) using width = 640 (actual # instead of a %).

http://www.lust4lennon.com/index2.htm

uses the % and

http://www.lust4lennon.com/browserindex.htm

uses the fixed lengths.

Which would be the preferred method?

Thanks

Hi nightfishing,

I'm running at 1024x768 and they both look pretty much the same length. I would use the % because it would look better at bigger resolutions. If you set it to 640 then on bigger monitors you would be left with a bunch of blank space on the right side.

Use the % system. I'm running at 1600*1200, and the fixed length thing does not look good.

In your case, % would probably look the best. I usually use a fixed percentage for a table, when I have a center aligned table. On a left aligned table, I generally use a %. If you do use a fixed width, then use 720-760px. 640 won't do you much good, since you would still have horizontal scrolling at 640x480 and only about 1% of the people use that resoltion.
