Is there a way to have site auto resize to fill the whole screen for people
who set there monitors at a different resolution.

Place the content of your pages in a main table set to 100% width.
You will need to do some testing to see how it looks in different resolutions, because if not done
properly items tend to shift around using this method.

Are you saying that you want to control how the page opens in a browser?
People don't like that and many don't view their browser window full screen.

No, what I am saying is that the person who the web site is being designed
for has his monitor resolution set at 600 x 800. Most people are at aleast
1024 x 768. For those people the site looks like crap.

True, but not everyone actually opens their browser at full screen resolution.

You'd have to switch to a fluid table design. Currently, your site is set for 770 px width table (which is too big anyway for 800x600)...it can be redesigned but it's gonna take some work.

I think you may find that many are still set at 800 x 600 .... whether we
designers like it or not. For one site I have done 45% are at 800 x 600 and
38% are at 1024 x 768. For another it's 48% vs. 36%

And the 38% at 1024 x 768 is meaningless because you have no idea if they are using full screen for all browsing

Use tables to to your layout; set the table(s) using a percentage (in the
table properties/width box)rather than a pixel size.
You can use "nested tables" (that is a table within a table within a
table....etc). So make one large table at 100%, then insert a new table
within that other table, and make the second one, say 98% or whatever, and
go from there.

agreed - because at 1024 x 768 there's about a 1/5th of the screen that is
just white space, that would otherwise accommodate the expanding table to
match the screen resolution.
