If I were to make a great postbit, should I use pixel width or percentage?

The problem with having a very graphical and good looking postbit is the sizing of things and different resolutions! I mean if I were to put a good few graphics on there, i'd have to set the table width using pixels etc, because I'd go for the full on graphical look. Is it advised to go for pixels? I mean i'd make it so it doesn't take sideways scrolling on 800x600. But what do you advise?

For example, have the table for the PM buttons, etc. fixed, as percentage will distort them, but make sure that at least part of your postbit can stretch. Take that part, and make that percentage.:)

You can't really have the entire postbit in percentage width because once you start adding text and whatnot it'd get distorted. Depending on the design of the postbit there would almost have to be certain parts that would have to be limited to a set pixel size.

Then basically, there really isn't much to put in percentage. I mainly asked for the main widths, of the whole table etc, I mean it'd have to be in pixels then...

If I remember correctly, doesnt Mozilla or Netscape dislike percentages?
