Resizing viewable screen area
|
|
|
| My webpage can be viewed in my 19inch and 17 inch monitor at its full width
but in a friends 15 inch monitor he has to use the scroll bars to navigate
from one side of the webpage to the other. Can I alter something in
frontpage to allow those with smaller monitors to view my site more easily.

| No. You have to create your page fit the smaller resolution you think will
visit your site. This is best done with tables either set to 100% or 750
fixed pixel wide table.

might pass along. I'm having a similar problem as Alan.
But, I thought if you created a main table in FP and set
the table width to 100%, then the page elements/contents
(graphics, text, etc) into tables within the main table
(also setting width to 100%), then the viewable area would
dynamically adjust to whatever resolution the viewer has
their monitor set to. In my case I kind of have it
working, but still am having certain flaky problems.
Thanks for any help. Kerry

| True to a point, the tables will reduce to the largest item inserted into
it. So if you enter a 750 pixel image, then that is as small as the table
will go. Also the image will not stretch to fix a larger resolution.

| Thanks so much for your help and for the fast replies. I
believe you solved my problem. The problem appears to be
with the original dimensions of the images I was using.
Since, as you pointed out, the table will only reduce to
the largest image width, and I had pics with width > 800
pixels, it would not all fit on a screen with resolution
set to 800 x 600. By reducing the pic size to width <= 750
pixels and then setting table width = 100% the page was
viewable by either 800 x 600 or 1024 x 768.
Now that I think of it, it makes perfect sense.
Thanks again for your help. You solved a riddle that was
driving me nuts.
Regards
Kerry
