site view proportioned to monitor

[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

Don`t wanna be picky, but can`t you just instead of using width=100%, use pixels. No matter what resolution they use the table will stay the same size. Only problem is if you make the table best viewable in 800x600 and a user uses say 640x480 but that`s about 0.0000001% of users anyway.

It`d save time and space making more identical pages.

pixels sound easy enough.
