Im trying to design a site that is centered on the users pages, my dilema is that i cant seem to find a way to make the layout look good on 800 by 600 and 1024 by 768, I figure that my lowest resolution would be to devlop for 800 by 600 so at least my site would look good in that resolution, my problem is that i am nesting to tables into each other...I use dreamweaver and the 1 pixel borders in dreamweaver look like they should really be a 5. So by creating a white table and then a grey table inside(color of my site) i create a thin white border, which i happen to like. At first i wanted to use pixel width and find a "magical" script that would resize the page to the user resolution, but i could find no script. So i decided to go liquid and change my pixels to percentages. All looks good when in 8 by 6 but when i change my res to 1024 the tables spread out to fit the screen meaning that you see the white table behind the grey table and its looks horrible.
Does anybody know of a solution to this dilema, is there a way to keep my tables from expanding without changing the percentages back to pixel width or is there another solution entirely. here is an example of what my page looks like so far...the tables are set to pixel width just so you get the idea of the design of the site.
