Author Help for HTML newbie
Toronto Newf

2004-08-02, 11:15 pm

I am doing a website for a friend. I am a network type person so do not do
a lot with web design. I have a few questions.

How do I make sure that a site is going to work in most reloutions. Ie 800
by 600 and 1024 by 768 etc. Will Nested Tables do this?

Also is there anyway I can have my images close to edge and top where there
is no white space. or should I put some kind of background in there.

If anyone has a chance and can help the site is here

http://mytestingpage.50megs.com


Thanks very much

Rob

I thought that was if I posted to 3 of them at the same time and I believe I
posted to each one separately

That would be cross-posting.

> and I believe I posted to each one separately


...which is multi-posting. Each message is separate, and you end up
with three separate sets of answers, and wastes both your time and the
time of the repliers, who may not see that your question has already
been answered in another group.

Please also note the topic:
"Don't reply above the original message"
which is top-posting, and frowned upon in these technical groups.

Well, that's a useful, if perhaps a tad too concise, document. Is this new?
