Re-sizing homepage?

[joeneptune]

hi,

I'm designing a webpage in html that uses a large scale image on the homepage, beneath which is some white space for HTML text. I want to design the site so that the same amount of the page is visible at both 1024x768 and 1280x800. I've seen all-flash websites that accomplish this very cleverly by allowing the window to scale to the user's monitor (

http://www.uniqlo.com/us/).

But my site is in HTML.

Is there anyway to get a similar effect? Could I design two versions, one for 1024x768 and another for other settings? (If soo, I'd need help with the javascript.) Seems like a very manual approach but it's the only thing I can think of.

Any suggestions?

Cheers!

Is it a requirement that 'the same amount of page is visible'?
Keep in mind that many people do not surf with the browser maximized, so I am always somewhat surprised by a requirement like this.

Could you accomplish your goal by centering your 'large scale image' in the page background and having your content in a text area or iframe (where you can fix the size, if need be)?
