I'm having a problem where my pages unles being viewed 1024x768 scroll off the right side and make left to right scroll bars in the main page. The pages that have tables in them are set to 100%.. not using pixel size.. How do I make it so people viewing 800x600 (forgets people still use that resolution) can view it correctly without the scrolls?

Thanks
 
Perhaps it would be helpful if you posted a link to the page that's giving you a problem. Here's a guess, though. What may be happening is that you have graphics that exceed 800 pixels (actually, I think it's more like 780 taking into account the persistent vertical scroller) in width embedded next to one another in your page. Regardless of how the cell size/table size is defined in your html, cells will always expand to accomodate the image(s) within. This can push the page over the width restrictions and give you scrollbars.
 
yeah after looking back it is not only that it is all so the size of my background that is causing issues.. so i am going to have to go back and go through every page make sure I got everything smaller and fit.... *grumbles*

Thanks for the help!
 
You should set your default at 600x800 since most people use that resolution.

Your Pixel width should be 650-700.

Even though setting your page at 100% seems to be the easiest way, if you want your pages to look consistent you should use pixel settings
