Page Layout and master layout for wide screens

Hi, with the wide format monitors becoming more common I see some issues here and other places.

1) do not assume that the users screen is 1024x760 or 1600x1200 -- test for and allow for screens like 1680x1050 and other wide screen / HD formats.

2) use CSS and DIV's to put the "footer" at the bottom of the display when the content does not fill the screen.

here is what I think will help desribe this:

if I open a book and the page is say the end of a chapter, the text may only go to half the page but the footer of the page with the page number still is at the bottom of the page, not just after the text.

sure if the content is more than the screen can hold then flow the footer to the end of the content.

Well, getting the resolution to look right at 1600x1200 should be easier than the work we had to do to get it to work on 1024x768 (which is still the majority screen resolution on the web). ;-)

These are good suggestions. Thanks.
