Frontpage - Users with older monitors

[TYR]

I have a visitors to my site that are complaining that they can not
see the full screen and have to scroll to the right to view the
screen. These users seem to have older computers or have their graphic
card set at resolution of 1024 X 768 or lower.

I have tried to set the font size lower but get complaints from older
members that they can't read the screen.

Is there a way to set the webpage so it can be viewed on all
screens????

It is easier for users viewing webpages with monitors set at high
resolutions to "magnify" the view than for a user viewing webpages
with a monitor set at a screen resolution of 800x600 or less.

If any portion of your potential audience is viewing from a workplace
and they are not actively involved in IT or graphics, it is more
likely that they will be viewing at a maximum screen resolution of
800x600 simply because the cost for their employer to provide
equipment capable of higher resolutions would almost surely break the
budget.

Many more home users, including those new to using the web, are more
likely to have monitors set at higher resolutions. When they want to
"magnify" something on a webpage they do so.

Thus, you need to decide where the bulk of your viewing audience would
reasonably have their monitor's screen resolution set and then create
your webpages for that audience. If a major portion of your viewing
audience may be viewing while on the job, you may need to design your
webpages to a lower screen resolution.

The easiest way to control what viewers will see is by creating
content that fits within tables that total not more than the maximum
viewing width (in pixels) for your target audience. For example, if
the majority of your viewing audience view with monitors set at a
screen resolution of 800x600, you would put all content in tables not
wider than 800 pixels.

This situation, by the way, has persisted for nearly a decade because
web designers have consistently been provided or demanded better
screen resolutions than the majority of those viewing their creations.

I hope you find this information helpful.
