Changing margins of the whole web

's Computer Specifications

Hi, I have FP02. I'm noticing more and more that some webs are purposely
smaller than the screen. Like, for example, the MSN website. From what I've
read this is done so that there will be no resolution issues and no matter
what interface is used (MIE or NEtscape) that the user will always see
everything on the screen.
Right now my web is full sized. How can I change the margins of the whole
web? Is this a good thing to do? I'd appreciate any guidance.

Do you mean something like:

<style>
body {
margin-left:0px;
margin-top:0px;
margin-right:0px;
}
</style>

Or <body marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" topmargin="0" leftmargin="0">

??

Both in this case apply to each page where the style is applied or the code
appears in the <body> tag.

I am very interested in Catt's question, too. Is there some way to dictate a
certain size for your site... an easy front-pagey way for folks who don't
know code...

Thanks for both replies. So I see that I can set margins easily for the whole
web by going to style>margins. So apparently that is the easy "FrontPagey" (I
like that description) way to do it.
But I wish Mr Murray answered the other questions. Is this a good thing to
do? Is my premise correct about browser assumptions? I guess a more direct
question would be "Is it recommended"???????
TIA

You'd design your site for a max width of 760px. Easiest way is using a
table, either centered or left justified.

I understand the instructions for making a new web site, with help from these
posts I have done that with the latest site, however I have been trying to do
that with a fairly large (for me) site that has been up a while. I was trying
to change from shared borders to DWT and reduce the width of the pages but
have not been successful. I do not know code.

First create your DWT using a centred table set at 760px wide.
Then see www.rxs-enterprises.org/tests/SB-to-DWT.htm, placing ALL the
content and borders in the above table.

You can check the width of the page in FP2003 by using the page size
setting at View->Page Size and click on 760x425 - your 760px wide
table will fit this exactly. If you get a bottom scrollbar then the
content you are placing in the table is too wide and needs attention.

Dynamic Web Template

What is a Dynamic Web Template?
A Dynamic Web Template is an HTML-based master copy of a Web page that you
can create to contain settings, formatting, and page elements such as text,
graphics, page layout, styles, and regions of a Web page that can be
modified. You can attach a Dynamic Web Template to the pages in a Web site,
and that template defines the layout for those pages.

How do I use Dynamic Web Templates?
By creating a Dynamic Web Template, you can make regions on attached pages
available for other authors to add and modify content, while preventing
changes to other regions on the same page. This provides you with control to
preserve the layout of the pages and the template itself. When you update
the content in a Dynamic Web Template, you can update the attached Web pages
simultaneously.

You can use any number of Dynamic Web Templates in a Web site, and you can
attach a Dynamic Web Template to as many pages as you like. There are no
special template storage restrictions, so you can save your Dynamic Web
Template (.dwt) files to any location.

I read what DWT's are and what they do. Now unless I missed something they
are to make regions available to other authors and lock content you don't
want touched. That's it?? It seems to me that most people (web authors) keep
a fairly sizeable margin on each side of the web. I'm the only author of my
web. So there is no advantage to having margins on each side?
Thanks
