Another n00b question

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The PC I'm building the webpage on has a resolution of 800x600. Of course, when I increase the resolution the page blows up like a balloon and the spacing of my divs is humongous. I'm setting div size with percentage in order to keep everything from grouping up on the left side of the screen at higher resolutions but lets say I have one div with

Code:
style="left:3%"

and another one with
Code:
style="left:55%"

At 800x600 the spacing between the divs looks like I want, but at higher resolutions the spacing between them increases to the point where the page becomes ackward and unattractive looking. Any suggestions on a better way to design for different resolutions?

Can you provde the site/page so we can look at what you are talking about.

I'm not real sure about the DIV tag, I've only used it a few times when I was too lazy to splice an image.

I would suggest just cutting aprart your design and putting it into tables with fix width so it doesn't move. I am assuming you're using the DIV tag to lay information over your image.

I would suggest re-arranging the layers to allow use of the CSS2 max-width property
