Hi,
I'm making a site using Dreamweaver 4 on a PC. Fonts(arial 14px) are defined in a css and it is optimized for a screen resolution of 1024x768. I use an autostretch table to stretch the pages horizontally when visitors have a resolution which is larger than 1024px.
I have tested it in netscape 4.5 and 6.1
and in int.explorer 5 and 6.
There were no problems at all and when I set my screen to 600x800, horizontal scrollbars appear but everything stays in place. When I set my resolution to 1280x1024 everything stretches the way it should be.
Today I went to someone with a mac using int.explorer 4.5 and a 15" screen set to 600x800. The whole site looked terrible! The fonttype changed to something pixelated in the middle of a sentence, sliced pictures were spread all over the screen and the bottom part of my top frame wasn't visible.
What could be causing this problem? Is it that int.explorer 4.5 doesn't support the autostretch function, is it the mac platform or is it the screen resolution?
Is there a way to validate the HTML Dreamweaver generates, cause I'm not an HTML expert at all? I used layout view to draw all tables and cells and defined whether they should be fixed or autostretch and what dimensions they should have.
What more can I do to prevent this from happening?
Thanx for your help.
