Hello everyone,
I'm currently doing some research for a website I'm about to design. And one
issue occured to me. It's well known (I think?), that in the real world, we
limit the width of pages, for otherwise, they become unreadable. Newspapers
suffer under this especially, with very narrow margings. Books, Documents,
so on, all make it so, that you have no more then 80 (around?) charecters on
the screen.
But online, it's generally been regarded as "bad", to fix a user, in a
certain width, and for some things, I can understand this, but at the same
time, I find useit.com very unreadable, simply for having text, which flows
across the whole of my 19" screen, very wide pages.
So I'm wondering, is there any research out there, on what seems to be a
good width, for CRT based text?
Regards,
Svend
