guys,
i'm realitivley new to web design. i'm using dreamweaver and currently my pages do not adjust themselves to fit a window when it is decreased or increased in size. is there a way using dreamweaver (or other) to sort this out?
Yep, make sure you use percentage (%) widths, rather than pixel widths. Set you element to be 100% of the screen, and it will resize with the browser window.

thanks pyro for your reply. i've been looking around the dw workplace to find where i would enter the width percentages but still dont know where. i have a table in my page with 2 cells (columns) and i have tried making each cell 100% and also tried to make each cell a value that added together with the other cell will equal 100%, but still no joy with both. could you just explain where i can access the place to enter this % info (idiot-proof for my sake)?
thanks - i really appreciate it.
Click your table, so the entire thing is selected, now in the properties tab, set the width to 100%. The cells width only take up 100% of the table, so if the table is not set to 100%, that will not make it stretch.

pyro,
it is on 100% already....i thinks that its the images on the page that are causing the prob.......i need to resize them to 100% without changing the size of the pic on the page......i'll have a go at it.......thanks very much for your help.
