Web Page View

[Mary Ann]

Hi,

This is a two part question:

1. I've built a couple sites using FP 2003 and they are viewed fine on my
computer but I see on other computers they are viewed with text overlapped
and pics off center. How do I have the web page view on all or at least most
browsers the same. Other web sites are viewed the same on both computers, so
I know it's something I'm doing or not doing when building the site. My
settings are at 1024 x 768, if that makes a difference.

2. I recently bought a new laptop with an extra wide screen and only the
sites I've built are viewed only taking up 75% of the view. The right 25% of
the view is blank. Other sites fill the screen. How can my sites fit the
screen properly?

I realize the answer might be the same for both. Thank you for your time.

Place the page content in a fixed width table or div set to 760 pixels.
Then center the table or div. ( width="760px" )

If you design using percentage widths ( width="100%" )
the table or div container will resize to fit the browser viewport, and this will make the content shift.
