Web page width
Dimensions of a web page for 1024 screen resolution.
Max width of the page is 1004 pixels. IE consumes for scrollbar and borders 20 px, others 17..18 px.
A 10 px margin on the left leaves 994 px for the page.
Adding 10 px margin for symmetry to the right leaves just 984 px for the page.
