making webpages fit into window

[narutofan36]

almost every webpage i go to cant fit on a 800 by 600. is there anyway to make this possible?

i cant raise the resolution as it really hurts my eyes >_<





---btw, is there a way of choosing a resolution thats not listed in my display properties?

What's your browser? With Firefox, you can use userContent.css to make global changes to pages. If you put body { width:780px } it'll make it fit, though a lot of pages will probably look strange.

Why can't you raise resolution? Low refresh rates? Get a better monitor, seriously. If it's text size being too small at higher res, you can just increase that on pages too in the same userContent.css file: * { font-size:3em }.

Most people (including me) now code for a minumum of 1024*768 resolution. You can probably get a 2nd hand 19" monitor capable of 1600*1200 for close to nothing.

This is realy the wrong forum for this question, I suggest you try software or tech support.

I code all my web sites for 800x600. I consider it the polite thing to do. Last time I checked, that's what most people were still running on their PCs. And if they are running at higher resolution, it allows them to have multiple windows open on their PC. They probably don't want to fill up their entire screen with my web site.
