Autofit Page

[Greg Maxey]

Hi,

Never been in this group before. I don't know if my problem is programming
or not. I didn't see a beginners group and jump in here. I have a basic
web site that I created using Front Page. My friend has a similar page. We
have noticed that his page with photographs expands in width to accommodate
the favorites and history view in his web browser. The thumbnail
photographs grow and shrink in ratio with the available space. Mine
doesn't do this, the page is pushed right cutting off 1/3 of the page when
the favorites window is displayed.

Here is the page. Can anyone direct me how to correct this problem?

Doh,

I fixed this problem on the picture page. It was the table property set to
pixels vice percent.

I have the same problem on some of the regular pages as well. I have
checked table properties and they are not set to pixels. Here is a page
that doesn't work and one that does. I can't find the cause:

Thanks again

Your problem lies in this code segment:
<table border="0" cellpadding="10" cellspacing="0"
style="border-collapse: collapse" width="100%">
<tr>
<td width="33%">&nbsp;</td>
<td width="33%">
<p align="center"><img border="0" src="images/File_N6.jpg"
width="855" height="432"></td>
<td width="34%">&nbsp;</td>
</tr>
</table>

The 855px wide image will never resize less than that, and the table
will expand to accommodate the image.
This image, in my opinion, can be cropped or resized to bring it into
line with the rest of the images on the page, though the page will not
shrink to much less than 750px width without the horizontal scrollbar
showing - all the images are too wide for that.

Ron, thanks. While I don't understand the code, I understand the picture is
the cause of the the problem. Does this mean that there is no way to use
graphics that will shrink and expand?

Yes - there's no way to make a picture shrink and expand.

Got it. Thanks all.
