Frontpage 2002 - Fitting on the screen?

R

RobG

Hi,

I've been running a small cricket website for some time and now I've
upgraded my computer to a 17" screen there is a big gap in my website content
as the content is spread accross the screen.

I estimate my audience has a minimum 15" screen and as they don't appear to
be overly entusiastic about computers they will probably not be viewing lots
of windows at the same time.

I would therefore like maintain the viewing area in a browser based on a 15"
screen and if anyone has a larger screen, keep all of my webcontent
centralised on the page but not expanding beyond the 15" parameter.

How do I do this?

Your help would be appreciated.

Click to expand...

Try placing the entire page in a <div> of fixed size

To do this, edit the code by clicking on the Code Tab
Add this just after the <body> tag
<div style="width: 800px; height:600px;">

And this just before the </body> tag
</div>

Save and publish

This left justifies the page in a smaller sized <div>. My mind has gone
blank on how to centre it

15" or 17" monitors in is not relevant
- all that affects is the monitor screen resolution that may be available

It is the browser view port that is important
(the maximum size of the browser window that is open at that resolution)
- most older monitors are probably are set at 640x480 (but don't have to be, and can be 800x600 or larger)

If your site is built in tables center align your tables and make them fixed width
(say at 620 px or 760 px wide depending on your content)
