I need direction/assistance about setting up a web page. I am currently
working on constructing a new web page. I have the jist of it but my issue
is when I preview the page with adjusted pixel settings. It looks fine on my
default setting...1024 x 768 pixels...also set to 800 x 600 pixels.
My main concern is that when the page gets published and posted on the web,
regardless of the end users I want the page to adjust accordingly. Any
suggestions?!
 
You can't make the page look exactly the same viewed from all browser window
sizes and resolutions, but you can make it look well at all of them. But you
need to plan the page carefully from the start to meet this goal.

One way is to put everything in the page in a fixed width table (at
something like 780 pixels) and center the table.

Another is to use 100% width tables, and allow the text to re-flow around
the images for each browser window size. Images need to be reasonably small
and only a minor part of the design for this to work.

You could also use CSS-positioned <div>s to achieve either of the above.

Hope that helps.
 
I understand what you are saying but I am not real clear on how to. Is there
a help guide or something on the web I can reference to give me assistance
with doing this. I guess my fear is now that I have the page set up with
intities, menaing the banner and contents, text and images, and even a drop
down menu will I have to start over or can I implement the table into the
page with everything already put into it? I do appreciate the response.
Thnx!
 
It depends on what the page is like so far - and it depends on which way you
want to do it, fixed-width or percentage-width.

A fixed-width page is pretty simple, as long as you don't have graphic
elements that are too big already.

A percentage-width page is trickier. There's a great tutorial on doing this
with tables here: http://www.dwfaq.com/Tutorials/Tables/flexible_tables.asp
.. I've been using the techniques I learned from that tutorial for years.

Can you post a link to the page?
 
I found some documentation on tables and have played around with it. I
believe I have found a solution to my problem and I can stick with the
current page I am developing now without starting all over, it is just goiong
to take some manuvering of items. I appreciate your response and i will
check out the documentation you have provided for further
suggestion/guidance. Thank you.
Unfortunately I can not post a link at this time still very underdeveloped
and not published yet.
