Set your main table to 750 pixels then center it. On your
next nested table you should allow 1 cell to be a
percentage, preferably without a fixed object (pictures)
so if a user doesn't have the browser fully expanded the
percentage cell will adjust. A simple sample below, copy
and paste into a page using html or code view, replace all
the code on the page.

therefore be viewing my site at various screen resolutions
(800 X 600 and 1024 X 768).My problem is how do I design a
site that will appear exactly the same for both these
widths (allowing no word wrap for sentences, right aligned
sentences do not wrap onto the next line if a smaller
resolution is being used, etc). I thought that before I
start a page I would create one large table and then all
the contents would be within that table. Then I could
create other tables to position pictures, etc. But the
large table would control the size of the page
displayed.Does this plan of action sound like a solution
to the problem? If so, would you suggest I use the
relative width set to 100% or the absolute width set to
pixels (If so, what pixel width would be best for an 800 X
600 resolution (710 pixels?)). I think this site should be
designed based on this resolution.
