"I am so rich that I must give myself away." (Egon Schiele, 1890-1918) Artist


Q. How do I design my webpages so they fill the screen on all monitor sizes?
A. If you want to make sure that your site will look well in all resolutions you should first decide what your lowest screen resolution should be (800 X 600). When you design for 800 X 600 make sure that all of your images are optimized for that resolution. Use percentages for your table instead of pixel widths. If you use a fixed pixel width you are setting your table to an absolute measurement. If the table is set to percentages it will expand as needed. Use a bit of JavaScript to check to see what sites look like in various resolutions. Copy and paste this into your browser address:
javascript:resizeTo(640,480)
Hit enter and then save to your favorites. Do the same with the following:
javascript:resizeTo(800,600)
javascript:resizeTo(1024,768)
Your browser will resize itself to the resolutions and you can get an idea of what the page is going to look like.
