"HTML Question"

I use Frontpage (boo hiss etc etc). Is there a bit of HTML code that automatically adjusts the size of my webpage (if I set it in 1024x768 but the user views it in 800x600 for example) so the whole page is still visible without scroll bars etc ?
I think it can be done but need some help.

Thanks

Try this. It is what I do:

For things that must be a specific width, like a menu on the side, type in the width that it must be. For things that don't need a specific width, ie. ones that you can allow to change size, do not set a width, like so:

This cell must be a specific width, but you can change it to fit your site

This cell doesn't need a specific width, so don't specify one. It will adjust depending on the screen width

I use that very same technique on my site: http://netwise.bravepages.com

That's not a valid attribute in any form of HTML, the only time you can use "*" correctly is when defining frame sets.

thanks chaps, I will let you know how I get on.

There is a javascript command to retrieve the desktop resolution of the client system, but I don't know what it is :O)

You might be better off using tables that are proportional to the width of the screen. For instance, this SR page is basically a giant table with two cells in. The left cell is 112 pixels wide, and contains the blue navbar. The right cell fills whatevers left. An example of this is:

NAVIGATION STUFF!!11!"1

MAIN STUFF!1!2121 (the star in the width means "whatever's left")

Or you can set column widths in percentages, thus:

I take 1/4 the width of the screen!

I take 3/4 the width of the screen!
