Don't. Web visitor's really hate this.

If, however, you really can't find inner peace without doing this, check out
the sample code in this Web page:

(Hint: Look at the Resize links at the left of the page.)

Or (as Jim cautions) better still to resize your page content to fit the Users Screen
- say using % width tables

Thank you for getting back so quickly. I should asked what I wanted to know.
The web page keeps resizing automatically to the browser it looks fine when
previewed but when previewed in msie6 the page resizes and everything on the
page gets jumbled. How did I cause this? or is there a fix?
Thanks again.

You have used CSS Absolute positioning of your page elements, they do not move from their position
when the browser window is resized or smaller than what you designed the page for.

If post a URL to the page in question, I am sure someone offer you some help if you want to continue
to use CSS Positioning.

Otherwise you can use tables to structure your page layout, either set at a % of the browser window
opening or at a fixed pixels width of a maximum of 760 pixels.
