How to make website pages stretch and be a full page for different resolutions???? PLEASE HELP!

[LordandMaster]

You know how some websites are a full page whether you run at 800, 1024 or 1280 resolution. How do you do that?

I am helping a friend with his website and we know html and have Dream Weaver if that matters. Please tell me what they call a page that does that, and how do we make it happen?

Make tables using percentages. So, you make one large table that is of width 100%, then you make sure that one of your table cells (the one that you want to mae stretchy) has width 100%. THe other table cells you are gonna want to use fixed width pixel values so you can maintain their size as you want them to be viewed. The last part of it is to insert an image into the table cell you want to be stretchy. I believe Dreamweaver 4 lets you do this automatically. Otherwise, you need to make a graphic that is completely transparent (size doesn't matter so you can make this as small as you want). Then set the width value of this transparent image to 100% and your all set.

hope this helps

LandM: if you have any more emergency questions, you might want to consider posting them in Off Topic, thats the place that gets the most hits all the time, but dont make it a habit, like i said, its only for emergency post.


as for your question: xtra is right, just make your whole site inside one giant table and set it to 100% width.
