Page width

[Fred]

Can anyone help me with a page width problem. I've reset my pages and the
majority look ok but the odd one is spreading itself right across the page
(see http://www.book-holidays-direct.com/Menorca/menorca_Binibeca.htm ) yet
the same dimensions are used on another page (see
http://www.book-holidays-direct.com/Menorca/menorca_Cala_Blanca.htm ). I've
set both tables to 96% (per cent) and they all look ok in preview but not
when published. I use FP2002. Fred

Hi Fred

What size are you designing your web in? What I mean is, were the
original pages done in 800x600 and you did some in 1024x768? I am webmaster
for a friend of mine. He uses his laptop which is set to 1024x768 (we both
use FP 2002, he says it looks so much better in the higher resolution) and
publishes to the site. When I go to the site that is how I know he has been
doing some work on the site, is when I see the page bottom scroll bar has to
be used to see it from side to side. I use the standard resolution of
800x600 (that is what most video cards default to, most people are not
computer savvy and use the defaults, he does not quite understand site
design) to design the pages. 800x600 is used most often because that is a
standard default and that is what I use (my own video card and crt are
capable of the higher resolutions, my video card is an ATI All-in-Wonder
Rage128)

By the way he is a very good friend (he is also very computer
literate, but not quite as good as me when it comes to using the tools),
like a brother and so I put up with it and just go ahead change it back. He
is also very helpful when I need help.

Mr. Linden-Wyatt

I think I found out what is push your tables. It is your banner
graphics at the top of the page. My advice is top get clearer graphics and
reduce them (the graphics). The reason for better graphics is that I tried
to adjust them and it fuzzed out the printed part of it. You have to watch
the graphics because if you do not adjust for them they can and will goof
you up. Also it would appear that you are using are using shared borders,
if this is so, my advice to you is not to use shared borders.

What you might want to look into is learning Cascading Style Sheets.
When changes have to be made (as far as style goes) you only make changes to
one sheet and changes are made across the whole web site for those pages
(with css, you can have several different sheets controlling different
aspects of the site).
