Hello,

I would like to know how I could maintain the size of the objects on the web site, regardless of the user's resolution. While I have designed the site with 1024 x 768 in mind, the page shows up too small when the users are running a higher resolution.
I don't know if DWMX has this capability of if this can be acomplished through JavaScript.

I would appreciate any help that points me in the right direction.

Thank you all in advance.

Rafael.
DWMX/JavaScript

In terms of layout you could use %ages e.g. the left column could be 20% and main column 80% thus the content would expand to fit the users resolution. Using em's rather than pixels will allow your users to resize the text as em's are a relative unit unlike pixels which are a fixed size. However this will require some user intervention.

But I don't think you'd have any joy trying to resize graphics. Browsers do not do the best job in the world at that, you would end up with stretched images looking pixelated and grainy.
