Right hand margins

I develop web pages on a 17 inch monitor. How can I see
what the page would look like on a smaller monitor? Is
there any way of fixing the right margin other than using
a table?

Hello Mike,

I am using FP 2002. Therefore am I correct in assuming
that using tables set at 100% is the most straightforward
way to set the right margin?

Hi Gillianc,

If you're using FP3 then you can specify the resolution

that you wish to have the browser window sized to.

Hi,

Probably the easiest way is to set the right margin (and any others you
want) in your stylesheet, like this
body{
margin: 0 20px 0 0;
padding:0;
}

Margins are set in order clockwise from the top (top, right, bottom, left) -
or you might remember the order as TRouBLe. So I've set a right margin of 20
pixels and the other 3 sides to 0, you can also use % units. The padding:0
is just to get rid of a default padding that Opera sticks on the body. Now
you can stick whatever content you want on the page - a table text whatever.
