Display width and table width

[perhaps i am incompetent?]

Hello i have a graphics heavy web site with some large photos. The web site
width (table = 100% ) works on my laptop but when viewed in other computers
is varying widths.

sometimes same for height.

Sometimes the images are different sizes also... is that is because i have
resized them with my curser rather than in photoshop

Yes thank you and hi... i have read some of the other postings which suggest
that i should resize my photos to not be more than 800 pixels.. is this so...
and when i do it in frontpage they are very small.

can i also resize them using inches rather than pixels and if i want large
pictures what is the maximum width, and does it work to resize them by
draging with a curser in frontpage?

100% width is *always* 100% width. However, the width depends on how wide
the browser window is opened to, and the maximum width depends on screen
resolution - not everybody uses the same screen resolution as you, and not
everybody opens their browsers to fill the screen.

Screens are measured in pixels, so resize your images using pixels, not
inches.

For a browser opened to 800px wide, the maximum width for an image is
760px. The maximum width for an image is whatever you want it to be - but
bear in mind your users on slow connections (wider images take longer to
download), using small screens (think netbooks), or using a browser with
opened sidebars. They may get horizontal scrollbars, which should be
avoided. Also remember if your images are valuable - you cannot protect
them.

Always use an image editor to do anything with an image. FrontPage is not
an image editor - and resizing with the curser is likely to make the images
blurred or muddy. One of the reasons for resizing is to reduce the
filesize that has to be downloaded. Using the curser may make the images
smaller to look at, but it's still the full size image behind the scenes.

Thank you for your help...
just of futher clarify... i must resize all pictures using pixels in an
image editor.
1Assuming i would like an image to fill half of a screen width should i
choose 400 pxl
2 why would it look so small on my display...
3what do i need to change in order to get a good visual representation on my
display so i know round abouts what the final look of picutes relative to
site will be.



thank you for your help

yes in pixels and keep the aspect ratio the same as the original...do this
in an image editor...not FP.

400 px may be not be half the screen if the user has his viewport smaller or
the favorites bar opened...etc.

dunno can't see your screen and can't control your settings

you have to decide how big stuff can be relative to the size of the
container you put it in.

post the URL of your site for better suggestions.

How big is your display?
If you are using a 39inch monitor at 150000px wide (do they build these
yet?), then 400px will look tiny - but 400px on my netbook covers more than
half the 9inch screen width; all things are relative.
Use file->preview in browser, and choose the 800 x 600 option for the
browser to see how it looks.
