Hi . My WIFE is creating a website and she finds that her webpage looks very different on different monitors and perhaps the same on some other browsers. The screen resolution she is using at present is 900 x 1000, this was set by a virtual site designer. What would anyone suggest for a cross browser best viewing.

Best Regards
chris900*1000 is not a standard video resolution on any Video display that I know of.Ok, do you have any SUGGESTIONS, i think we can change the res. Thanks for your early replyHow did the resolution get changed? The "Virtual Site Designer" Program?

Regardless:

For XP:

Right Click Desktop, select Properties.

Choose "SETTINGS" Tab. Change the screen resolution on the left to your desired value. Press OK.

For Vista:

Right Click desktop, Select "Personalize" and then "display settings"

adjust Resolution slider on the left.


let me know if this works or not.Yeah got that , its the actual website resolution size we set it to 900x1000 in  Coffeecup Visual Site designer and it looked awful on another pc.  The pc we were viewing from was set in 1024 x 768. I am sure that should view good across all platforms am i correct/hmm, then you'll need to change the options in the Visual Site designer to use a more appropriate resolution. a good COMMON denominator is 800x600.Hi again. Ok thanks for that information. I will get her to change the size of the webage to 800 x 600. I have just realised I didn't explain myself too well. It wasn't the screen res we set , it was the webpage size but now I can see you got that sussed. Thanks again.

ChrisNo, I think the problem is that you're using absolute positioning of the HTML elements. It looks fine or your browser and screen, but looks completely different on other browsers and screens - with elements out of place etc.

Is this the CASE?Sorry I am not sure about elements. If I had them will the page position itself correctly throughout. If that is the case are they hard to insert into the html document and where would i find these.No, a HTML element is the same as any HTML tag. The "reply" button of this page has two elements, , which defines the actual image, and which defines the link itself.ok i got that. The visual designer we are using now seems hooked on keeping our webpage size to 740x600. We are going to view it on several pc's and hope it works cross platformIf the site is online now, have a look at Browser Shots. It will show you a screenshot of what your site looks like in different browsers. Even if your site isn't online now, you should bookmark it for later. Absolutely brilliant, that is going to help us so much. Thank you. I'll say no more.
