Sizing My Page

Recommended Posts

Hi,Does anyone have any hints or tips for making sure that my HTML will fit on to the page. Some of the cells in my tables are being squished so that the text is taking up 2 lines. It only happens with some browsers on some PCs (looks fine on my laptop; but all screwy on my desktop).Thanks,Jim

Most computer desktops are 1024 * 768, and the rest are probably 800 * 600. To make sure that your site looks good in all computers, you would have to change to a fluid design or just make sure that the width of your container is 800 px. Search google for fluid designs. There should be several templates that come up.

You can use an obsolte table design, where the table would be 770 px so that it can fit properly into most of screens, with their browser maximized. And keep all text or images below this measure (becouse if you have too long words or incorrectly written words like asldfkjaslkdjfalskfjalskfjas, they will pull the table to fit its content, the same with images or whatever you put inside the cells of your talbe).Or you can use divs and css to design your layout, but with the same principle, the div must be 770 or less. Usually, less than 300 or 400 px gets to tiny, but you can set css attribute to max-width and min-width, so you would never have a bigger (or smaller) width size.Note that max and min width are not a cross browser property, but you can make a good start from it. Or you can do a combination of css and tables, so you can format your table with css. This will make iteasy to learn css if you havent, and make the transition easier into the standars, becouse sooner or later, you will need to migrate into xhtml and css :huh: ... -10730
