    Hey Guys,
    Thought i try something different for a mini project.
    http://evo.streetfighter.ie/

    Only problem is that since there is no scroll bar, some elements do not show on smaller resolutions. Whats the best solution here?
    Should i be working off a max resolution width/height? and/or place elements in %'s

    mostly i use 960px for a standard website width, is there a height i can go by too ?

    A standard height is too hard get real statistics on. Too many factors such as toolbars, icon sizes etc.

    Why not just have a scrollbar but offer an alternative method for navigating?

    i think its probably best to add in a scroll bar,
    still have the auto scroll animation etc

    i think its just the last page that is cropping,
    if scrollbars wernt so ugly i could just have overflow-y for that box of text

    javascript

    check out jquery.localscroll-min.js in google and you'll get some good stuff.

    demo to see what it does. nice graphics in your site btw. ;)

    That's not really what the OP is looking for. His site is already doing what localscroll does.

    He was looking for opinions on how to handle screen resolutions and scrolling...
