How can I automatically resize the webpages for all screen sizes?

[Guest]

I started from scratch with a web design.
When I preview site on 17" screen which is my default looks great .
But when I view it on other size screens its tomuch to the left or nothing
is on the righthand side.
How can I adjust the page to be either centered or have it automatically fix
its size per screen.
Ive place the a background as a page template.

Hi Pbart,

Use tables with 100%

Pbart,
The appearance has less to do with the physical size of the
monitor and more to do with the users settings for
resolution. When designing the site, use the preview in
browser option to see what your page(s) look like at
different resolutions. To best accomadate the various
resolutions and position, place all of your contents into a
table set at percentages.

Build the site in a table;

Set the table size to 750 pixels (or whatever you like) or set the table size to
a percentage which will (should) expand and contract depending on the monitor
resolution

Almost right.

It has to do with the width of the browser viewport in pixels . That's all.

The screen resolution and the screen size only determine the maximum
practical browser viewport width. I can simulate any (smaller) page
appearance on my 1280x1024, 19" LCD by simply making my browser viewport
smaller, starting at the maximum width of about 1200px or so. If I make my
browser viewport 600px wide, I will see that page as it would render on a
640x480 screen with a maximized browser viewport (only I'll see it alot
smaller).
