Screen Viewing

[ridge]

I have set up several web sites, and I have sized them all to 760 pixels wide. They all open up and fill the screens width...at least all the screens from friends and family that I know of.
But he last site that I just did, displays on only 3/4 of the screen width. The web page is shrunk.
Its not shrunk on my screen, but it is on at least 2 or 3
that I know of.
Is the any codes, or how do i fix a problem to make a page fit to the viewers screen?

You are currntly using set widths such as 720px ... this means the page will fill a different percentage of the screen dependant on the screens resolution.

If you want it to look reasonably simialar on all screens then use a % value for your width.

Thanks Rob....
Now if I only knew how to do that?....

Well instead of specifying something as "720px" wide specify it as, say, "80%"

If you can show us some code or an actual page then we may be able to tell you where to do this. At the moment though, we'd have to make a pretty wild guess.

Sure.... here is the link...

http://www.weienergyservices.com

It displays a full screen for me... on 3 differant computers... But have had at least two to tell me it displays only about 2/3 of their screen, leaving a blank
margin to the right.
They also tell me that the is the only site that this happens to them.

I use Windows XP-Pro with IE 6.0 on all three of mine....
I dont know the systems of the ones that say they dont display a full screen.
Just concerned as to why they say they have no problems with any other site...and only this one...

It's a flash movie that is sized in the object/embed tag to:

width=765
height=250

Why would it display "full screen" if your screen was bigger than that?

From what the others are telling me, its not displaying nearly that wide on their computer. I dont think it is their resolution settings because other sights that I have done the same way, they have no problem with.
Their are several more pages in the web site after the flash movie, and they are telling me that all of the pages are not displaying right.
Thanks ahead of time for all of this help.
