Hi Web Gurus,
Is there a trick in designing a web page that enables the page to open correctly and line up etc when opening in a smaller window? ie I have a side bar program that runs on my work pc, and when I open EO, it is fine. When I open my web page, it doesn't reduce its width and so pics etc are skewif.
Help would be appreciated.
Cheers
Glenn

normally if a page looks different on different screen sizes it is because the widths that have used are set with a fixed width of 780px (for example). Pages that look the same use percentages eg 80%.
Just looking quickly at your page - it does get a bit skewif if using a 800x600 display setting - but I think that is because yo have things separated or lined up by spaces: for example on your image page. If you look at your html you will see a lot of space codes ( )
One way to do it is to lay it out using tables and center the links, and image pages in each box.
The best way to have a play is to go to school- at
html school
You can play around on that and recreate each of your pages. It may look daunting but it is pretty user friendly.
If I had an hour I would do it for you but I am a bit busy today - sorry -
Pete

up above I said you will see a lot of space codes with an example but they dont actually appear on this site when the message is submitted, so the space codes are the ones with nbsp with a & and a ; either side of it
