Using different screen resolutions

M

mikel2634

My screen resolution is set to 800x600 and my website looks fine, however I see that the following screen resolutions are being used on the website: 1024x768, 1152x864, 1280x1024, 1600x1200 and 640x480. When I switch to those resolutions, now the website looks terrible. The shared border header and nav bar are not expanding to the entire page...looks funny.
Question: is there anything that can be placed in an area that affects the entire site so that everything stays in proportion no matter which screen resolution is being used?

Design all your pages in 100% width tables

Hello Stefan,
I did as you suggested. I placed tables in the top shared border, but the .jpg still does not change with the different resolutions. I also placed a seperate table for the nav bar and that does not change. All tables were set to 100% width with no borders/borders collapsed. What am I doing wrong. At this point I have no clue. Can you suggest anything else? The site is http://www.adsforus.com.

Images will not resize to the screen size, only your page layout will
- if you want the page to completely fill the screen set your page margins (right click for page properties) to 0

As the site is laid out now (w/ your large button images), at anything less than 1024 resolution, users will need to use the
horizontal scroll bar

Thank you Stefan,
I guess the problem is not the page but the shared border
at the top.

No
It's the content in the shared border that's too wide
