resolution differences, 778 pixel table

[http://sevillejewelry.com]

Some computers set at 1024 width resolution or 800, and i was told not
to make my tables larger than 778 in order to be compatable with the
800 computers, SO that would mean i want to create a website that is
123 pixels on each side (1024-778 divided by 2) so that my website is
centered and there is 123 pixels of empty space on either side. SO,
how do i do that on FP 2003? thanks

Select the table tag and set its alignment to center. Allow the browser to
make this calculation for you.

Use a 778 pixel wide table for your master table, and center it on the page.

A better approach is to just center your outermost table:
the one that's 778 pixels wide. That way, it'll be
centered no matter what the browser width.

I mean, when you go Web surfing, how often do you
precisely adjust your browser window to an external
dimension of exactly 800 or exactly 1024 pixels wide?

778 pixels wide seems a bit much, BTW. I measure 775
inside an IE window at 800x600, and that's with page
margins set to zero. You can confirm this via the page at:

The 123 pixels is the space taken up by the browser - tool bars, status bar and
scroll bars - they make part of the 800 wide pixels, so therefore 778 pixels is
the "white space" viewing area of the browser.

 

[Murray]

Assuming that "the browser" is IE, right?

 

[Andrew Murray]

No, I didn't assume that when I posted my message. I was just stating that
"some of the screen" is taken up with tool bars, and scroll bars in "a brower"
which could mean *any* browser.

Yes, you can turn off the tool bars and menu bar and so on but that reduces the
functionality of the browser to about 1%
