newbie need some little help in basic expression

Hello to all members! this is my first post and just a a little question
is it possible to have an expression that when the browser resize
the css padding or margin will adjust automatically? like a parent child?

Could be possible. Just detail your needs, please.

Thanks Kor, i wish that when window resize the % position placement will increase value like a parent child (linking) heres the screenshot http://img25.imageshack.us/i/expressionmove.jpg/
from default 0% and when the window resize to small will increase the percentage.

you could easyly do this with only css by setting the options of min-width, max-width, max-height and min-height.... here what it would look like:

Code:

<html>
<head>

</head>
<style>
div {
	max-width:900px;
	min-width:700;
	height:500px;
	background:#00F;
	border:5px solid #000;
	margin-left:auto;
	margin-right:auto;
}
</style>
<body>

<div> </div>
   

</body>
</html>

Here is a link to the live view...http://thechozenfew.net/test4.htm

hope this is what you wanted to acomplished

sadly im not familiar with the wizards on Dreamweaver, i prefer to code everything myself, i find it more flexible. Dreamweaver is a great program to code, it helps you alot... i personally encourage you to code you pages, you will understand it better, Dreamweaver generates lot of redundancy codes.

Thanks ptejada, thats nice one and really useful! but what doc type that work for this? seem this doc type wont work with max min <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
regarding my question i need a script somehow detects window and the idea is to make it work linking to to padding (%left) or position placement.
when the window reduce size the value of padding or the position placement left will increase and window enlarge the value decrease
(just the padding will work)
i found a link that somehow had the idea but im not a programmer to put everything right

just to add, im more concern on the window height if this matter,
i was thinking changing stlesheet for every screen resolution but this takes so much time when i have to update.
is this expression with modification work?
