Strectching a page to fit screen 1

Terminus · Apr 20, 2004

Hi there not sure if this can be done using ASP, but i have a web page created in Fireworks MX and have converted it to a htm but i can see no way of making the page fit depending on the screen size. Is there any way this can be done using ASP or any other method?

if you are useing tables, just sent the table width to 100%. It will fill the whole screen regardless of viewing size. But if the table has a lot of data, it may wrap the text making it look nasty, so I would to develop in an 800 x 600 screen size.

Hope that helps.

i actually just got through juggling this myself, but for auto scrolling DIV's i didn't want to exceed the visible screen :

<body onload="setTimeout('formattable()',50);">

<script>
function formattable()
{
document.all.myTable.width = document.body.clientWidth-50;
document.all.myTable.height = document.body.clientHeight-50;
// the -50 is just to pad the edges of the screen a little
}
</script>

<table id="myTable">
<tr>
<td align="center" align="middle">blah</td>
</tr>
</table>

forgot to mention, this is based on the window size, regardless of the screen resolution

also you can add this script into the body for when the window is max'd or stretched:
<script>
if (document.all && window.print)
{
window.onresize = formattable;
}
</script>
