How can I set the size of the web site? - 4/22/2003 10:55:04   
I have built a couple of web sites, but with this one, I am having troubles setting the size limiatations. The site fits fine on my laptop screen, but on my home PC, you can hardly see half of the page without scrolling.

Is there a setting I can make on the web site to make it size A x size B?

see http://www.winepress.us for an example and let me know what you think.

thanks

<table border=" 0" cellpadding=" 0" cellspacing=" 0" style=" border-collapse: collapse" width=" 1118" >
This could be part of your problem

You have the option of setting the table width to a specific number of pixels or percentage of screen display.

Many of your visitors with have a screen setting of 800 pixels wide. Any table wider than 750 pixels runs the risk of needing to scroll right to see (keep in mind task bars and other things take up monitor display space).

I' d set the table width to 100%. This way it will adjust to the width of any display.

What part of the HTML code would this be in? Would I have to change it on every page? Does anyone have this code that I could view?

Much appreciated.

The bold above is what you need to change, and yes change it on every page...

You can highlight and Copy that line of code, then go to Edit > Replace and make the change...

Select Find on All Pages, Find in HTML and it will edit all of your pages for you at once...

Setting a width of 100% will cause the table to expand to fill the visitors browser window... that could be anywhere from 600px to 1550px... though about 740 is considered by many to be " the standard"
