html_code_clinic thread: Resizing a web page to fit different screens


Message #1 by "Jim Jim" <matrix00002@h...> on Tue, 17 Apr 2001 10:32:58 -0400
Hi there,

One way of doing it is to enclose the whole content of your page into a
table that has the width set to 100%. This way, everything you have on the
page will automatically be resized.
Of course it's always a problem with images but I think you can always
create them keeping in mind the smallest monitor size - say not necessarily
640x480 but 800x600...

The second way, if you really want to avoid tables, would be, I think,
stylesheets - boxes of text with exact dimensions.

If there's of any use to any of you, I've got a small software that'll
specify the available browser window space to work with, function of the
resolution you have.

Hope this answers (at least part of) your question...

Hi,

Does anyone know how to resize items on a web page so that it fits 
automatically different screen sizes say, 800x600, 600x400 etc...
The Microsoft site seems able to adjust automatically for different screen 
sizes and don't know how they do it.

Thanks.
