Re-sizing of page

M

Mi-calll

I run 1024 reso. Without having to create a table in the
middle of the page @ 700x600, of which I now do, is there
a way to set FP so that what ever resolution the person
is looking at, the page will re-size to their reso and
they can see the whole page correctly and in the form of
which I created it. Possibly if statements...????

Short answer - No, unless you design a page for every possible browser
window width, then use script to reload the correct page for that browser.
Note that I did not mention Screen Resolution - many users do not use their
browsers at full screen.

There are three answers (avoiding CSS solutions)
1: set a table width 750px and centred, which will suit all browser
widths, with margins increasing as the browser gets bigger. The page
content area is fixed, as you designed it.

2: Set a table width 100%, which will grow and shrink with the browser
size. The content will rearrange itself to fit in the size available. The
effects of the rearrangement on your design may be minimised by careful use
of cells and nested tables within the outer table. Note that you will have
to check the finished product in several different browser widths.

3: (Avoiding Table) : Design within a <div></div> set to width of 750px.
This has the same drawbacks as the table, plus there may be cross-browser
compatibility problems (older browsers spring to mind)

In my opinion, you should not set a height for the table - some browsers
ignore it, most others take the setting as a minimum. If you do set a
height then it should be around 400px - the viewable height in a browser
opened to 800x600.
