Screen Resolution

[Woodster]

Hi All! I've been reading as many of the posts as possible concerning
resolution problems. I'd like to know if there is a way to make my page
"center" on anyone's screen? I know how to make the table fit, but on a
higher resolution it is scrunched-up to the left of the screen. Any help?

Put your content into a table set to a fixed number of pixels wide (ex: 720)
and center the table. Then it will stay in the same place at all
resolutions.

Actually, resolution has very little to do with it, since it only determines
the MAXIMUM width your browser viewport can have. What you are concerned
with is NOT that value, but all of the possible values below it. For
example, my 1680 x 1050 screen rarely has a browser wider than about
760-800px. In this case, even though you knew my resolution, you would
still have no idea what the actual browser properties were.

(I know you know this, David)

I did know that, thanks Murray. I was just trying to make it easier for the
poster to understand. I should have said, in simple terms, using tables
will keep your site layout the way you want it regardless of browser size

 

[Murray]

Yeah....

Now boys...let's not break up a happy family. Thank-you to both Dave and
Murray. I actually figured it out before I got your responses, but your posts
were fun anyway. Thanks again, and I'm awfully glad we have this forum to
turn to in time of need! -W

There was no squabble at all. 8)

Don't forget to post back about *how* you figured it out, so that other
people who read the question can have the answer too.

Thanks,

It's all good

I think he meant he adjusted his tables before he read our suggestions to do
that.
