Are the browser dimensions

length by width or vise vera?

Thanks
And so that all browsers view it nicely what is a good
table size?
 
They should be width x height.

The best practice I've foiund is to design towards 800x600. This way you
only have problems with users running 640x480, and they are used to visual
constraint problems anyways as hardly anyone designs for them anymore.

When developing a table for 800x600, make the table no more than 770 wide
and set the margins on the page to zero. This should let the table fit in
nicely and take into account the scrollbar on the right. Don't worry about
setting the table height as height almost never works and the table will
basically flow however the browser decides.

Hooe this helps,
