fit to screen issue

[des]

Hi all,
I have design a website in frontpage 2003 and all is well apart from the
page size.

It is set to be large, but I would like the website to fit to screen if
users have a small monitor/lcd. How do I do this and keep the current size? I
see this feature on websites all the tim but have no idea how to do it.

thank you.

I use % for sizes for divs or table, that way the screen resizes according
to the viewer's browser window.

Subject to the restrictions of any images within those containers, of
course.

Correct, if you set the div for 99% and then have an image that is say
1024px wide, you screen is NOT going to resize to fit say a viewer who is
browsing at 800x600.

Best to always check how your page renders in various browsers and at
various resolutions.

Same would be true if you set a table at 99% width then set the width of the
carious td cells in pixels to add up to 900px or 1024px or whatever.

and at various resolutions.

Resolution is not the critical variable. Browser viewport size is. A given
page will render IDENTICALLY on any resolution screen as long as the
viewport is kept at the same pixel width.
