Click to See Complete Forum and Search --> : Resolution problems
I have a site that I need opinions on.
I designed the site in 1028x768, but I need to have 800x600
users view this site too.
Without knowing java or javascript how can I make people that have their resolution on their PC's set to 800x600 view my site?

Should I have a splash screen, to view this site for 800x600, click here, for 1028x768 click here.... or would that be abnormal.
Please let me know what you think.
Thanks,
PG

You should use a flowing design, where almost all sizes are given in percentages, so your pages look the same regardless of resolution. It's a waste of time to maintain two copies of the same thing, and you have problems with search engines, etc (people coming across a link to your site which puts them in the wrong section). Also, using a flowing design supports other resolutions as well.

Should I do a flowing design with the pics I have too?
I mean, should the night skyline pic (that is in a frame) on the subsequent pages of the site, should those also have % sizes too so they "flow" ?
Can you give me an example of a site?
I had my frames set like this, whats wrong with this?
<HTML>
<TITLE>Contact Us</TITLE>
<FRAMESET ROWS="25%,75%" RESIZE="no" FRAMEBORDER="0" FRAMESPACING="0", BORDER="0">
<FRAME NAME="A" SRC="chi_n_1025x180-2.jpg" SCROLLING="no" MARGINWIDTH="0" MARGINHEIGHT="0">
<FRAMESET COLS="20%,80%" RESIZE="no" FRAMEBORDER="0" FRAMESPACING="0", BORDER="0">
<FRAME NAME="B" SRC="calpa_sidebar.html" SCROLLING="no" MARGINWIDTH="0" MARGINHEIGHT="0">
<FRAME NAME="C" SRC="contact_1.html" SCROLLING="yes" MARGINWIDTH="0" MARGINHEIGHT="0">
</FRAMESET>
</FRAMESET>

If you want the pic to be a certain size in relation to the rest of your page then yes. If you want it to be in proportion to the original then only specify the width and the browser will adjust the height automatically.
