resizing desktop

[DavidBrian]

when i make my page it all looks good but if i change my desktop to smaller or bigger it makes everything all messed up and i know it means that the things need to be in a percentage but i dont know how. using dreamweaver. i would like to just be able to have a link on desktop so that if peaople are not viewing it in the right resolution that they can click and it will change desktop for them... if possible... racked brain for to long allready...

Thanks again

David

nope you cannot change anything on a users computer with javascript, do you have a link then we could advise you how to make your site multi-resolution compatable

just that one page correct? its because the image 666x677px and next main res down from 1024 is 800x600 therefore the image is going to be bigger than the page, just make the widths and heights a % not value eg not 666 make it 60%

I wouldn't advise that. The image is a .jpg, so resizing it in the browser will cause loss of image quality and make it look funky. So, if you have a fixed width image that has to fit in all resolutions; then you have to downsize the image untill it's the right size.

this is true but what happens if i turn my resolution up to 2048 x 1536 you would have this tiny little picture in the screen, ok maybe not that high but say 1280x1024

*Shrug* Then I guess you'll have to deal with it? Send out differently sized images for different resolutions? There's not much you can do.

thanks peoples... geuss ill just leave it as it is... or maybe make the page in 800x600 resolution.

[96turnerri]

make the page in/for 800x600 or send different images for different resolutions as paul says
