What is the new standard webpage size?
I am confusing between the two standards 1024 x 768 and 800x600.
Also give me the reason..

The general consensus is that you should still design for 800*600, but with % widths if possible so that it will fit larger resolution windows as well.

Or use a max/min width code so that the page expands.contracts between limits:-

Reason: a lot of people still use 800*600 and a modern situation is where people with 1600px wide windows have two 800px windows side by side.
