Website Viewing

[FrankSinatra]

Have I missed something all these years ?

I construct and view in 1280 x 1024. I use Frontpage 2003.
When I see the page I constructed on other computers not
using this type of resolution, my website looks out of sync, aka
out of wack. What should I be doing so that whatever people are
having their monitors set at, it looks proper and in sync.

Thanks

you have found one of the biggest problems with design today... in my view!

Much of this issue can be fixed by writing good code with validating pages, that fully support css...

Doing that resolution is much much much to high for most viewers. Only recently has it been accepted to write pages for 1024x768 and totally bypassing 800x600 or lower screen sizes.

I believe you'll need to ensure that your page settings are at most 600x800 to center the image at different resolutions. The unused 'sides' then just show the page background you have selected when the page moves to the higher resolution.
I think!!

Don't use absolute positioning either if you can avoid it.

Yes, screen resolutions are a restriction for us web designers. The easiest way to get around this is to set your pages at a "fixed width" of , at the most, 750 pixels. To do this, create a table 750 pixels wide, center it in your page and place all your content inside it. Alternatively, you could set all your table or div container widths to percentages rather than pixels, that way they will stretch or squash depending on the users screen resolution, this is called "liquid layout". If you use this technique just make sure there are no images or other objects restricting the page from squashing.
Hope this was helpful.
