I just published website-looks good on my monitor, big on another

[Guest]

I just published my website with FP 2003 ( some still under construction).
The website looks good on my monitor, but when I pulled it up at work, I had
to scroll horizontally and vertically to see the whole web page. Everything
looked BIG on that monitor. Now I don't know how to correct this. Very
frustrating for a novice!

Change your table and cell widths to percentages-not absolute pixel values.

It may have to do with the screen resolution of each of the monitors. I like
to create my pages about the width of the Yahoo search engine- that way it
looks the same and does not expand and contract on different monitors
depending on their screen resolution.

The Yahoo search engine page is about 770 pixels.

To check the screen resolution right click on the desktop, choose
properties, select the settings tab. Below are several screen resolutions
with the most popular on top (at least with the visitors to my site.)

1024x768
1280x1024
800x600
1600x1200
1152x864
