Frontpage help please

[justleesa]

I just got a router so I can go online with my laptop and see that my website on this bi(wider) page is a bit short.

If I change it to fit the bigger screens I will have to scroll with the computer with the smaller screen.

What are the best measurements for the page?

The "right" answer is to make the page fit any screen..

Instead of using Pixel width, set the page width to be a percentage (usually less than 100% to give a little white area around the page, and for monitors that aren't scoped in correctly).

Thanks Paul, I'll try that!

Haha, I didn't have time to look at your source and I have no experience with Frontpage. I trusted that someone else would come along with more useful info, but it's always a bad idea to set page with in absolute numbers because of the variability of screen resolutions

I know, jus' playin' with ya

ok, Just looked and can't find a % setting. Where is that hidden?

No idea where it would be in Frontpage, but in your HTML source I see:

width="1100"

in the table tab. Change it to width="100%" and see what happens.

I don't do Frontpage but you can do this with any text editor.

45 lines down in your index.htm file is this line:

<table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" bgcolor="#000000" width="1100" height="755">

Just change the width="1100" to width="100%" and save it. Then upload the new page to your webspace.

I'd use 100% for the value since your background is black, otherwise you'll have a white border around the page. But you can make it anything you'd like.
