Default making a web page compatible with all resolutions

HI

I have a problem, I didn't notice it at first when i first created my webpage, I designed in a 1024x768. But since I have uploaded it. I have got a few people telling me then they are running different resolutions, then I would have this wide cap on the side of the screen. How can I design the webpage so that it would auto fit itself to the web page.
And if so, will have have to redesign the size of my images and the buttons I have created to go onto my original web page.

I would really appreciate any kind of help
Many thanks

Henri

Usually you would use the % measurement, depicting % of screen you have to work with.

<div width=100%>

I'm not really familiar with DWMX (I do own it, but usually directly code) so I don't know if there's a setting for this or what....

Hi Henri,

Search Google for "liquid tables", a concept where part of your table has a fixed width (the navigation areas for example) and the rest of the page flows with the size of the Window.

This is really a design and coding feature, and not necessarily a IDE feature. You don't tell a program to "design a page that flows on the monitor", although Dreamweaver supports all the features you need to create a page using liquid tables.

The bad part about Liquid Tables is that they, well, use tables. Using tables for layout is considered bad practice these days, and you should really try to use CSS for these kind of lay out techniques.

If you search Google for "two column layout and CSS" you'll find lots of examples, including this simple one: http://realworldstyle.com/2col.html

Cheers,

Imar
