widescreen monitorsHow do I set up my FP2000 built site to show up the same on all monitors?
When viewed on a wide monitor all of my settings are off. It is configured for a 800x600 view. Monitor size, shape and screen resolution have nothing to do with how a
page appears in a browser - the size of the browser window is the important bit (screen resolution will set the maximum size). One method to fix the layout is to place your page content in a fixed width table - the table should be 760px wide for 800px width browser portal. Also do not use any absolute positioning, absolutely positioned items will always stay in the same place on the page, while the page moves around it. If you have positioned items in the page post a link - there ways around this. -- Ron Symonds - Microsoft MVP (FrontPage) Reply only to group - emails will be deleted unread. http://www.rxs-enterprises.org/fp Show quote "mcg" <m**@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:93C2562D-7E8A-4C09-86DD-5A2D2655D2BC@microsoft.com: > How do I set up my FP2000 built site to show up the same on all monitors? > When viewed on a wide monitor all of my settings are off.

have a backup. Open the page. Use Insert->Table to create a single row, single column table at the top of the page. Set the table to have a width of 760px, no visible borders, cellspacing and cellpadding both 0. In code view the code will resemble: <body> <table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" width="760"> <tr> <td> </td> </tr> </table> Now select all the content in the page below the table. Cut and Paste into the table cell.

statistics. Eight years ago we considered it a necessity to be sure that people on 640 x 480 px resolution monitors could see our pages without scrolling horizontally, and of course nobody worried about that anymore. The same process has made it unnecessary to go out of our way to be sure that people with monitor res (or browser window size) 800 x 600 px aren't the slightest bit inconvenienced. There aren't many of them, and it won't kill those few to scroll. At least, I would rather focus on the 95% of my users for whom a narrow little design looks funny, than focus on the 5%. Of course this is my opinion, and everybody has to decide for himself. I'm influenced somewhat by numerous major, well-designed web sites who made this change about a year ago. -- Patty Ayers | www.WebDevBiz.com Free Articles on the Business of Web Development Web Design Contract, Estimate Request Form, Estimate Worksheet -- Show quote "Tom [Pepper] Willett" <t**@youreadaisyifyoudo.com> wrote in message news:%23piBju9GIHA.5980@TK2MSFTNGP04.phx.gbl... >I guess it depends on where you get the statistics.

probably be a huge pain. It's very doubtful that you need to use frames, and they really make *your* work much more difficult than doing non-frame pages. It would be much better to take the content out of the frames and put it into non-frame, table-based pages. If you do what "Ronx" recommended, yes, you would need to do that to every page. No, a fixed-width design will not expand to fill the browser window. That requires a completely different technique. The technique "Ronx" described, a fixed-width design, is simpler and you'll probably have more likelihood of success with it without a lot more pain and agony. -- Patty Ayers | www.WebDevBiz.com Free Articles on the Business of Web Development Web Design Contract, Estimate Request Form, Estimate Worksheet -- Show quote "jpcummins" <jpcumm***@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:ADF2D6FE-635C-40A2-8FB2-C248A23B3B52@microsoft.com... > Can this method be used with a site that has frames?

same in every visitor's monitor window regardless of size and resolution" use the method I outlined earlier. Pages built like this will do exactly what you want - display the same in every visitor's monitor window regardless of size and resolution. If you want the page to fill the browser portal, then you have to forgo the "display the same" part. To fill a portal the page has to spread out. That means lines of text become longer - sometimes so long the text becomes difficult to read. And if the text takes up less lines, then any images will move around as well. In other words, the layout will change. For this type of display instead of using a fixed width table (exact number of pixels wide) use a % width table - 100% width will always fill the browser. But the page layout will be different on every PC. It's your choice - a layout that is fixed in every browser, or a layout that fills every browser. I prefer the fixed layout. -- Ron Symonds - Microsoft MVP (FrontPage) Reply only to group - emails will be deleted unread. http://www.rxs-enterprises.org/fp Show quote "jpcummins" <jpcumm***@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:7CFA4E80-6205-42FE-B34C-305E63ADD508@microsoft.com: > I agree regarding doing away with the frames; most pages I see today do not > use them.

Pages built like this will do exactly > what you want - display the same in every visitor's monitor window > regardless of size and resolution. > > If you want the page to fill the browser portal, then you have to forgo > the "display the same" part. To fill a portal the page has to spread out. > That means lines of text become longer - sometimes so long the text > becomes difficult to read. And if the text takes up less lines, then any > images will move around as well. In other words, the layout will change. > For this type of display instead of using a fixed width table (exact > number of pixels wide) use a % width table - 100% width will always fill > the browser. But the page layout will be different on every PC. > > It's your choice - a layout that is fixed in every browser, or a layout > that fills every browser. I prefer the fixed layout. -- Patty Ayers | www.WebDevBiz.com Free Articles on the Business of Web Development Web Design Contract, Estimate Request Form, Estimate Worksheet --
