Solve : screen width problem?

Answer»

I have a problem in webpage that all things are OK in making webpage but there is problem of
screen width. I make a webpage in the formt of 15" inche monitor but when I was open in
17" inches monitor the formating of webpage is disturb. Please help me to solve this problem.I don't know but I think it depends on the resolution of the computer with the 17" monitor.The problem is that you are using an old-fashioned way of designing pages. Instead of setting dimensions with pixels, you should set them with percents. If I were you, I would brush up on HTML design...and while you're at it, you should also learn how to USE CSS.Thank you.

I am thinking in fact you are already in % settings altogether - which means what you set up for full screen 15", this becomeswhen viewed in 17" full screen - everything SEEMS to''stretch'' to fill and so what looked ideal formatting before becomes altered.

Sometimes I do find that it is easier to work to a limiting ''containment'' - in CSS we'd call it a wrapper - or in straight html a fixed size table ..... just under 600 if you want folks on 800x600 not to have scrolling - or a bit under 1024 to suit many who use 1024x768.

Within that containment... you can then use % much as you like within because it will be ''held in''. Many TIMES when image vs text placement is critical then IMO anyways - fixed sizes have their uses.
