resolution and table question - 7/12/2004 0:06:03
I am new to Frontpage and recently designed my first site. I built it at 1024x768 and then discovered that the alignment was all screwed up at 800x600. After researching similar questions on this site, it appeared that using a table was the answer, so I placed the contents of the page in a table with the width set to 100%. I was under the impression that this would cause the page to expand or contract based on the screen resolution, but when I previewed the site in various resolutions again, it appears to have made no difference. The alignment is still off at the lower resolution. Is there a step (or perhaps many steps) that I am missing? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

try new table 720 pixels wide right hand click table properties aligenment centre, then just keep inseting rows, or splitting cells.
the design you are using at the moment is called liquid design.
if you have loads of content ie text pics etc, you may want to go a bit wider.
just found this from december might help it hekped me loads
Tables work just like in Excel, but....different.
Try a test out first.
Recreate your links page like this.
In FP.
Click on New Page>Empty
Right click and hit Page Properties
Select the Margins tab
Select 0 for both margins (in FP2002)
Click ok
now center the cursor on the page. (You'll see that sucker right up at the top)
Insert a one cell table.
Right click inside the table and select Table Properties.
For Alignment, click Center. Directly next to the Alignment is the Width. Click on Specify with and enter 760, and specify it as Pixels
Then click on Specify Hieght and choose 100 and select percent
to the left and down you will see cell padding and cell spacing. Play around with these. They determine where object reside within this tables. (Even other tables.) I would leave both at 0. That way, you can have all of the space withing to put super cool stuff.
Click ok.
Now the magic happens.
You can put more tables within this perfectly centered Bad Ass table you just created. Play around with a 5X5 table. You can merge cells to make them headers, you can insert even more tables to do stuff with. Have fun.
