Prevent wrapping on Window Resize by User?

[Cody21]

Newbie to Frontpage. When I design a page and publish it, the users have a
smaller screen than I designed for - or access it via AOL. If the width of a
line is greater than their screen, the text "wraps" to the next line thereby
screwing up my positioning of placement items. I note in other Web Sites that
this does not occur.

Can someone tell me the option that I need to set on a FRAME or PAGE to
prevent this wrapping from occuring? I would prefer that everything stay in
it's original place and the user use a Scroll bar to see the data off the
screen.

(Hopefully I explained this properly..) Thanks in advance.

Place the content of the page in a fixed width container, ( table or div ) set to the
width you want.
that will force a scrollbar.

Generally users do not like to scroll left to right, so you may loose site visitors doing this.

OK - maybe I'm not explaining this right then. I know i *said* scroll bars;
but after reading your (ands Steve's) response, that's not really what I
meant. If I design a page for a 640x480 screen, when the user (e.g.,) views
the site in a resized window, the text wraps around and all alignment is
lost. I want the Buttons, text, etc all to stay 'anchored' to where I placed
them on the page. If the user want to read the information on the page, they
need to expand it (or maximize it). Is that more clear? I can provide some
examples if that would help.

Thanks again ...

Are you using fixed width tables for your layout?

 

[Cody21]

No - actually what I did was just create some BUTTONS (with hyperlinks) and
raw text on a blank page. Is that the issue? (Like I said, I'm a newbie at
this and plan to purchase a MS FRONTPAGE reference book next week.)

Use fixed pixel width tables with fixed width cells for your buttons.
