Resizing web pages using browser window

B

Bruce Acciavatti

When my web pages www.wonderwalks.com are displayed in a browser (IE or
FireFox) and the window is resized (shrunk) all the text gets compressed and
is difficult to read. No horizontal scroll bar appears, as they do in other
web sites where everything is retained correctly. If the pages are
maximized, they are fine, of course.

I haven't been able to figure out how to fix this using Front Page or html
tags. It's probaly very simple.I just need to know how to retain the page's
basic look whenever the window is resized.

Thanks, Bruce

I tried inserting div as you suggested into a test page, but it didn't work
any better when I used it in the browser. Still can't get the horiz scroll
bar and text still gets messed up when I resize the window. Perhaps that's
because I'm not using CSS.

I'll redo the page using a table instead and we'll see.

Thanks, Bruce

Not sure what size designer window you're using, but place the entire
content of the page inside a div or table set to a fixed width of 760 pixels.

<div width="760px">
<body>
all content here
</body>
</div>
Click to expand...

Shouldn't that be as follows?

<body>
<div width="760px">
all content here
</div>
</body>
