[Gates20]

Yeah, is there HTML code to set the Sites Resolution, cause when i build it on my computer, it looks way different on another computer.

Thanks in advance

What od you mean? People will browse a website at the resolution they prefer; you have no control ovr it.

to make your site "look" the same at all resolutions, use percentages for your tables and layouts; not specific pixel sizes.

or a popup or frame/table setting to keep the size of the site a set width and/or height.

most people consider popups as anoying and popups are usually blocked by popup blockers so a frame/table setting is proberbly best (if you dont want to go for the 100% width/height option)

make sure to get the right size, depending on what country you are in and what your target audience is your standard resolution is proberbly either 1024x768 or 800x600. you want to make sure your site fits within the standard resolution.

1024x768 -> max about 1000x550
800x600 -> max about 775x400

you sould test your site on as much resolutions/ systems/ monitors as possible befor going public.

good luck!

FYI - popup blockers will not stop user-initiated popups, such as you might code a link to popup a window when the user clicks that link.

There's always a better way. The fun is trying to find it!

Some popup blockers block any popups (which can be annoying). I have a spyware detection program by BulletProof Software that runs. It includes a popup blocker which blocks any and all popups unless you change the options, even when you try to open a new browser window. I've found a small workaround in IE6 for Windows, but it isn't very good. Use the keyboard shortcut to open a new browser window (Ctrl+N). I haven't tested this on other systems or browsers so beware.

"Ships that pass in the night and speak each other in passing;
Only a signal shown and a distant voice in the darkness;
So on the ocean of life we pass and speak one another,
Only a look and a voice; then darkness again and a silence."
- Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
