If you're using fixed values (like width="950px") then users with a screen res of 800*600 will have to scroll horizontally to view your page.

Use procentage values (like width="90%"); this way, your layout will fit on any screen used to display your page.

if that is the case, what is the best format for left, main and right panel.
if possible, what front do you suggest

[Costin Trifan]

that really depends on your website content's and how large you want it to be (to fit the screen width or have some space left on the left and right margin of the page content?)

The layout can be set using different values from website to website so I cannot tell you what the best values for your website could be...

If you make it to fit the screen (like width="100%") consider that there are more than 800*600 and 1024*768 monitors that will display your pages. So, in case there will be a large monitor imagine how your page would look like.

In case you don't have any experience with CSS, I suggest you to learn it, because it can do a lot of tricks for you.

Stretched websites are not always best solution. So sometimes 90% is good but sometimes we use 950 pixels.

1000x800
Then depending on content and overall purpose I go from there.

The problem is with variable width is that text wrapping issues (around images, for example) could be problematic.

Fixed width is the way to go. Most of us are on 1024x768+, so go with that.
