Answer» Designed a web page and them we tested it with IE and Firefox looked great....BUT then have someone else test it with differrent display settings ..and the graphic boxed moved when reviewing the web site for both IE and FireFox.. How can we design the page so it doesnt matter if the screen display setting are differrent on other computers??? Rookie web designer - HELP! Thanks By "graphic box", do you mean an image or photo? What technique did you use to position the "graphic box"? Did you use tables?use a more "standards up to date" web design application...
Front Page is kinda old and outa date especially with all the newer browsers....
Good Luck
BTW see: Dreamweaver/MS Expression/etc...there are many othersYou have a point but I doubt he wants to buy Dreamweaver. I think the issue here can be solved without purchasing additional software. A reply from pauljacques to my question is needed.Moved to Web Design (if I actually move it to the right place this time, at least) I know a lotta folks like to build a window at 100% - but IMo this can lead to what is described.
I tend to build with a wrapper or table constraint to 760 to 770 pix ... and within that position everything - this should normally mean that despite res settings on different puters, all will display the same.
It is tempting these days in fact to build to a 1024 . and so constrain within maybe a 1,000 pix size but even now, I FIND there are people on 800x600 and no one likes to horizontal scroll!
BTW - strikes me these days, Frontpage produces more problems than it solves! Much need to work within the generated code itself to try and avoid hassles if it REALLY has to be used.To add a bit to ChrisXPPro's COMMENTS or express the point using different words, if you're using tables for page layout, use fixed widths for table cells rather 100% width. That will prevent pages elements from shifting around when a different resolution or small browser window is used by your site visitors.
Regarding ChrisXPPro's comments on FrontPage, I'm inclined to agree there, too. I used FrontPage extensively some years back but would not do so again. One freeware option, if you're willing to spend some time learning how is works, is KompoZer. I assume you're not quite proficient enough with HTML to code from SCRATCH but, if you are skilled with HTML, a freeware text editor that is much nicer to use than Notepad is Notepad++.
