Display sizing

[Ted Grove]

Is it possible for my webpage to understand the screen size/resolution of the computer veiwing my webpage? THis is so my images can be viewed at the best resolution and size with scrolling of the veiwing computer. How do I do this?



Example: I create my web page in 1440 X 900 but one veiwing machine is 1024 x 760 so the images fit 1024 on that machine. Another viewing machine is 1280 X 720 and the images fit the 1280 width of that screen as well.

I have never heard of a way to do what you wish for. Suggest you create a
width to match the majority of monitors you think will view, ~800 pixels;
maybe 1080 pixels.

Publisher web pages are fixed width by design. To get a variable width, or %
width, you should use some other software to build your site.

Reference: Understanding background padding in a Publisher web (aka white
space):

We have managed to come up with a code hack that will center the fixed width
pages. Scroll down a couple posts to see Spike's explanation of how to do
this.

Scale the images?...no.

With software other than Publisher you can create a fluid page design to
adjust for various viewport sizes (it really has nothing to do with
resolution)....but the images are not going to scale. Your best bet is to
choose a mid-size image or a thumbnail and link that to a larger image.
