My Website is messed up because of Screen Resolution probs

[Guest]

I have built a 5 page website using Microsoft Frontpage 2003. I have just
realized now that on different screen resolutions (apart from 1024X768), my
site is messed up. So I have searched the net and found a good html code
which redirects viewers to the webpage that suits their screen resolution,
URL of HTML code
is:http://javascript.internet.com/page-details/resolution-redirect.html. So
what I was going to do was make copys of each page in my site and put each 5
pages in seperate folders. - E.g. 1024X768folder [5pages], 280x720folder
[5pages]. So if someones screen resolution was 280x720, they would be
redirected to the folder with the screen resolution set to 280x720. E.g.
/280x720folder/index.htm. But the problem is that when I go to "View", click
"Page size" and select the screen resolution that I want, it changes my whole
website, including all other folders.

Is there a way that I can just change one not all pages of my website's
screen resolution?
-
Or even better, is there a setting somewhere on frontpage that if selected,
will automatically change the site to the viewers screen resolution?

The best way to handle this is to design your site using tables set to a
fixed with. That way, regardless of what screen resolution a person is
using the site will always look the same. You would start with an outer
table set to something like width = 795 and then create nested inner tables
set to sizes to hold your content.

You'd be building an myriad of webpages then, for it is not resolution but
rather viewport size that you need to be concerned with.

Read this; http://www.thepattysite.com/window_sizes1.cfm it will give you
some good info.

What do you do for the many, many people who have high resolution
screens, but open the browser in a small window? Or have the browser
full screen, but with a sidebar opened? Or a combination of the 2?
Screen resolution is not important. What is important is the browser
viewport, especially its width.
As David Berry and Rob have said, design your page for the smallest
viewport your viewers are likely to use, and make it look good in wider
browsers.
