Fixed Page Size Question using Dreamweaver

gazzip · Sep 13, 2006

Hi All - I am currently doing a website for a touchscreen for my local town, I would like to set the sizes of my pages to 800x600 and Set them so they cannot change - for example, if someone pastes a massive amount of text in by mistake then instead of it automatically making the page longer it stays the same ie 600 pixels long.

I am working in Dreamweaver - does anyone know if I can place a piece of html code in to achieve this ? Any suggestions appreciated

Thanks

You can use CSS for this

put <div id="container"> right after <body> and then </div> right before </body>.

Then, in your <head> type this:

Code:

<style type="text/css">

#container {
width: 800px;
height: 600px;
overflow: hidden;
}
</style>

This will clip any text or items that exceed the 800 x 600 area.

JYM hit it on the nose. That should work for you just fine.
