Adjusting Web Page to fit smaller screens

R

Rose

Forgive my inexperience. I am wondering if you are creating a web page with
tables, how you can make your page adjust to smaller screens. For instance I
see on some web sites that when you make the page smaller, the site adjust
and texts wraps so you can still see almost all the contents. Any ideas?

Build your page in % width tables (not in px)

Make the tables with percentage widths rather than fixed width - or design
the page with the minimum resolution size ou'd expect your visitors to be
using e.g. 800x600 - the physical monitor size is not really the issue
(whether 14", 17" or 19" etc). The issue is the *resolution* size eg
800x600, 1024x768 etc.

That is a user-set option in Windows (or other GUI O/S like MacOs & Linux)
