FrontPage 2000 & Screen Size Questions

[Larry H.]

Hi,
I have FrontPage 2000 and am setting up a website for
community use. I need to know if there is a method to
use that will allow me to design the screen so that it
will display WITHOUT scrolling Left and Right on monitors
that are setup down to 800 X 600 and up to at least 1280
X 1024. Is this possible and if so, please guide me to
the right options to do this...

Thanks in advance for any guidance that you can provide...
Larry H.

The only way to design a page that doesn't
scroll is to place the content in a table set to
100% width.

However when it resizes for other monitors
your content will be shifted around.
Better to design for 800 by 600 which is what over 50%
of viewers use.

Or 750 pixels wide, then you take into account the scroll bar.

I'm happy with the basic design I use. I've tested it at
http://www.anybrowser.com/ScreenSizeTest.html and
http://www.wpdfd.com/restest.htm. The Anybrowser site shows even webTV,
while the second link shows more Mac sizes. To test your layouts this way,
you do have to publish them. I had paid for a website host already for
another domain name, so I've been publishing my test pages there so I can
really check them in various browsers and screen sizes.

If you play around with your 100% width tables, you can adjust them using
the feedback from the browser screen size sites, till you get a layout that
looks great at 800x600, very good on larger screens, and good on smaller
screens. If you can look at your published test pages on an actual 800x600
monitor, this helps select the best layout too.

For me, this is worth doing. Lots of other people just design for 800x600.
Either way works.
