Change resolution

[Rosie]

I am very pleased with the appearance of my website. However, I seem to
have made a mistake creating it using the 1024x768 resolution, so
consequently, anyone using the 800x600 res gets only part of the screen
vertically and has to use scroll bars - which I think is a great
disadvantage. Am I able to change the resolution of the website itself to
800x600?

You would have to change the basic structural layout of the site to fit
within a 760px width (so that you don't get scrollbars on an 800px maximized
window).

Err... I've no idea how to do that. Are there instructions anywhere?

(Changing to 760px, will the webpage still look normal when in 1024x768?)

Thanks

What is the browser width on 1024x768? The answer is, you cannot know. You
CAN know that it's no wider than about 980px. And you CAN know that it's no
narrower than 150px (I believe that's the smallest that you can make one).
But all values in better are possible.

So - will it look OK on 1024? It'll look exactly 760px wide - that's how
it'll look.

Err... I've no idea how to do that. Are there instructions anywhere?

The instructions would be in any HTML book, but it would involve some
reading and learning on your part. Some of what FP does is to get between
you and this learning/study to try to relieve you of the tedium of it. That
can cause problems as you are experiencing just now.

Why not post a link to your page so we can see what you are working with?
