site view proportioned to monitor res.

[bch33]

Just wondering how to make my site come up in a smaller window when people use different resolutions than 800x600 on their computers.

Right now I notice if I knock up the resolution to anything above 800, everything on my site becomes smaller of course, but the page still stretches the whole length of the monitor window with the content all at the top.

I have opened many sites in different resolutions and they come up in a window much smaller than the monitor.
That keeps the page looking much more proportioned.
Any ideas how to achieve this?

Thanks

Hi

Since most of the data is, hopefully in tables, you can control the size of the table with the WIDTH attribute. To keep the pages in proportion to the users resolution, you can set the WIDTH in percentages <table width = &quot;100%&quot;>
Where you need to keep the page fixed use pixels to limit the width to certain sizes <table WIDTH = &quot;600&quot;>

This calll also filter down to the TD level <TD WIDTH=100> or even with a CSS sheet to control the size.
