Hi all, i am having trouble trying to find out how to set my index page/ site so when a user has there desktop as 800x600 it still shows the whole webpage, not just the top left.

I have noticed that webpages seem to resize and fit in my screen if i change from 1280x1024 to 800x600 when looking on the web.........How do I do this for my site on Dreamweaver MX, its for a school website so we are going to get a lot of kids who have their Desktops large as hell so it gotta be easy to view for all ranges.

I hope you can help me.

Here is a link to the first page i am doing (rough copy) www.airdubaiva.com/Westcourt%20Online/index4.htm

had a quick look - even on my laptop your page was too wide to fit, I'm currently viewing at 1024 x 768

have you considered limiting the width of the page with a stylesheet, perhaps something that keeps it to 800 pixels wide and margins for the rest of the space. BTW there were a couple of html errors when I looked at your source and no alt tags on your images

thx for that, yeah, i have only just started on it, needs all changing and spelling and all that sorted! good point about the style sheet, thx.

I took it into school and they loved it, so i must be doing something right!
