my website is distorted on widescreen monitors, HELP!!

[3xalady]

I have been building and previewing my website on a full screen monitor.
Everything looked good when previewed in all browsers.
Now I bought a notebook, which has a widescreen. I found out that if you
have a widescreen, everything gets stretched out, making it sloppy and
unpresentable.

How do I lock it like other sites, so that it doesn't distort with screen
size.

Make sure that you place all your content into a table. Then, set the width
of the table to something like 760 pixels wide. This will display properly
on an 800x600 monitor and leave enough room on the size for the vertical
scrollbar.

Hope this helps,
