Resizing websites to browser

spenno · 07-05-2006, 09:35 AM

Sorry guys, I know I have just joined and I have posted 3 quick ones but these have been on my mind for ages!!

I need help with the size of my websites. As most people use different display settings on their computers, we could do with knowing if we can resize with a line of code in html (not PHP) for our sites?

Thanks

Just ensure you don't put any fixed widths on any of your tables or cells.

For example, you don't want this:

<table width="700"><tr><td>blah</td></tr></table>

Instead, find a proportional percentage to put into width, example:

<table width="90%"><tr><td>blah</td></tr></table>

This way, whatever the browser is, or whatever the browser size changes to, the table width will always remain 90% of that browser size.

I hope this helps

You shouldn't have to do that... a properly designed website either fits in less than 800px width or spans XX% across the screen... usually 90% or 95%...
