In MS FP Training, "HTML Tables III", we are shown how to use a Tracing
Image. If I'm designing my own graphic in a graphics program -- to be
inserted, as an image file, in an FP webpage -- how am I to know:

a) the proper proportion of the graphic size to the web PAGE size, given
that web page size can differ from browser to browser, etc? (Ie, how do I
know what dimensions to give my graphic design, so that it will be where I
need it on my web page?) How do graphic artists solve this problem?

b) proper POSITIONING of the graphic to the web page, when designing the
graphic, given that the web page size and proportions may differ depending on
browser, etc?

Thanks for any help you can offer.
- Michael

Use tables and cells set to a specific number of pixels wide to "lock" your
site in place so it looks the same in all browsers. Ex: 720 pixels. Then,
when you make your image make sure that it's no wider than the table/cell.

Thank-you, David. From your answer, I'm concluding that there is a fixed
size (in pixels, width & height) to a web page, and that this never changes,
even with changed browser window size, screen resolution, and text size
choices -- this is what would allow one to decide, eg, how wide to make their
tables and cells relative to the web page, and where to position them
relative to the page. Correct?
