Help me out again guys

NB$$ on offer (for I bow to those of greater knowledge)

Domains yes! Design no!

Got a reasonable grounding in html design (though i do use frontpage :red: ). Anyway, a puzzle that stumps me everytime is:-

how do i get my sites to adjust to the screen size of my surfers??

Probably a simple question for you guys but im forever creating (what i think) are wonderful sites only to go round my friends to show em my creations and 'woop' the site is 400' wide (i exagerrate) and look awful.

well, if you design with TABLES, dont set the table width in pixels, just in %. that way it will always be a percentage of the width of the browser screen. depending on werther you have images in your table or not.

and also, try to stay away from these pop-up sites, more and more people have pop-up blocker software installed o it would be wise to steer clear of this, just go for the standard "inside window".


Good luck!

20NB$$ coming your way..... Tjobbe Thanks

Any other ways??

Pop ups??? Dont do them???

 

[Tjobbe]

there really arent any other ways to be honest, most users have 800x600 screen resolutions, some a bit smaller and some 1024x768.

the rule is, never exclude anyone! design for everyone and you cant go wrong.

yeah I ALWAYS use layers cos Im from a microsoft publisher background and so its very similar. Have edited a tables html page before for someone else so i guess its back to the learning centre for me....
