Screen/Resolution settings using frontpage 2002....

[Guest]

I am trying to learn how to have the page size or resolution to auto-adjust
to each users screen. Can anyone please help me out here? I am using
FrontPage 2002. I sure would appreciate you help, and I'm sorry if this is a
stupid question to some on you. Thanks in advance for all of your help.

Resolution is not what you need to worry about - it's the height/width of
the browser viewport. My 1280x1024 screen rarely has a viewport wider than
about 760px.

The strategy is -

1. Understand your potential viewer
2. Select a viewport size that is consistent with the smallest viewport you
expect them to have (e.g., a 800x600 screen cannot have a browser viewport
wider than about 760px due to browser chrome)
3. Design your page to fit that width
4. Make your page flexible if you want it to adjust for wider screens by
using percent widths on your tables (or on your content containers if you
are using CSS)

Thanks. I can't seem to find where to adjust the screen viewport. Could you
please tell me where i need to go to get it changed, to for instance, 800x600.

It is the users viewport
- not the web developers viewport

Users don't like want you to change their viewport

So even though there are scripts that may try to do it, don't use them
- instead redesign your layout to be flexible
