HTML - Can't Get Website To Fit Other Resolutions!
Hi guys,
Been struggling with this for a few days so here's to hoping someone with a better knowledge of HTML can help me out! I've recently put up a little website to (hopefully) get a bit of freelancing work, but noticed when I checked it on a friend's computer that it looks really screwy on resolutions other than the one on my own computer. As in, everything gets scrunched up in the corner leaving a good half of the screen blank. I know the way around this is usually to convert sizes from pixels to percentages in the HTML code, but the inlet frame on the website refuses to cooperate with the percentage-based sizes. I really want this website to fit all resolutions so it looks professional & the way it should. Can anyone help me?? The website's at http://solar-flare.biz so you can get the code there. It's probably a bit of a mess coz I made it with Frontpage then tweaked it manually to get the background to stretch.... but anyway. Massive kudos in advance to anyone who can fix the code!!! Cheers Mateusz Similar TutorialsI'm making a website on my mac and when I view it it looks fine, but when I view it on my windows px on 1080x720 res it has everything moved to the right some and even the sizes are wrong. But when I change my res to 1280 x 1080 it looks how it does on my mac (which is 1280 x 800 res). I'm guessing the resolutions are effecting the site's margins and size attributes. Is there a way to fix this? Hi tell me if it's not the right place to post this question but I would like to know how to make my website look the same in all screen resolutions and for all browsers. Right now it looks fine in the 800x600 and 1024x768 resolutions for all the major browsers but when I view it with a 1366x768 resolution all the pages are skewed to the left in firefox and only some pages are centered in IE8. Here's the site : http://www.lost-vision.com/ Code for the "contact me" page that isn't centered in both browsers in 1366x768 resolution : Code: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">

Thanks in advance for your help. www.intoleranceclothing.com So this is not my expertise to say the least. My page looks fine on my resolution at home (1280x768) but of course does not look as intended on any other resolution. I have a few problems I'm trying to learn how to fix or control. 1) If you click the images of the shirts I want the popup to be centered in the x position and slightly below y center so the "Intolerance Clothing" still shows when the large picture is up. What would be the easiest way to go about this? Is there a way to set absolute position measured from the center of the page or how would I go about this? 2) Kind of along the same lines. The smaller pictures of the shirts align right up to the background image edges in my resolution. How can I go about positioning them so they are always the same location even if the resolution changes. Basically if the resolution gets bigger I'd like everything to just stay as is and add more black solid space around the image. 3) Another smaller change I'd like to make is currently the viewer has to click the larger image for it to close and they cannot bring up another lager image until it is closed. What do I need to modify to allow the larger image to be replaced by a new one if a different shirt is clicked? Thanks for any suggestions on where to go read or look to help solve these issues or if someone is kind enough to point me in the right direction. Looks fine. Does not look fine. The first picture was fine because it was viewed with a 1024x768 resolution(which is the resolution that I'm working on my website with). However, any higher resolutions, and you'll see that the video goes out of place and moves too much to the right(second pic). I need to make it so that the video scales with all resolutions so it stays in place like in the first picture, no matter what the resolution is. Can anyone tell me how to fix this? Please be specific, i.e. what code? Thank you. Hi! I'm having a problem with my website on larger screens. My website looks fine on my 1024 by 768 screen, but when I check it on higher resolution screens, all the content is stuck in the upper left corner leaving a big void on the right. How would I make my content appear in the middle of the screen like most modern websites? Or is there another solution that somebody can propose? Thank you for your time! Hi, I am a photographer and am trying to build my own site. Am using dreamweaver 8 and am ok using it, but my html is a little rubbish. have been developing my site, www.robertallenweddingphotography.co.uk, however just realised i have been developing at 1024x768 but if you look at the site at a lower or higher resolution it looks v.bad. Have read a few bits and pieces about using % instead of set pixels?! but am a bit lost! Can any body point me in the right direction? Basically want to end up with a site that looks 'correct' to as many people as possible! Thanks Rob I'm trying to create a page where there is a centered background image, and two div's, one on the left and one on the right, all aligned properly. I tested it by syncing it to my website, and I -think- it displays correctly. However it definitely does not display correctly in Dreamweaver, as in Dreamweaver my central background image is slanted to the left for some reason. Can someone please check my code to make sure it has this layout? (Background image centered, with one section on left and one on right, two sections has same size and same distance from background image) But in Dreamweaver it shows up like this, so I'm worried it might not display correctly on computers with different resolutions: Code: <!DOCTYPE HTML>

Really appreciate it Hi there. So I don't need it for 800x600, only the sizes over 1024x768. Basically I made this template which I need to be able to be re-sized when in your browser. I thought I did this right, however I forgot about other resolutions other than 1024x768. When in higher res, the tables break a little and from what I can make out just get a little larger. What I can't work out is how to make them all work properly most large resolutions? Link to the template is he http://www.ruthlessintent.com/penguins/ My webpage: http://beamsvillepharmacy.com/site/index.html Fits my browser perfectly, however when viewed on other computers with a lower resoultion, the page doesn't fit and is too large. How can I edit my code, or go about making it automatically fit with different resolutions? (Right now it's all simple width="" height="", and that's how I was fitting it) Thanks. so i'm working on my new site and everything seemed to be working find until i got to the 8th image since the image is wide instead of a scroll arrow appearing to scroll the page over, the image just collapses below my other divs to fit. can anyone help me fix this? thanks in advance guys this is the website http://www.paulodourado.com/x_milk.html and this is the page where I encounter problems http://www.paulodourado.com/thrice.html Im designing a new site and I was kind of wondering a few things that I was hoping to get some answers to. I wasnt sure where this should be posted so if its in the wrong spot please accept my appology. So I do know I want to do alot of css and make it look very professional. 1) I remember at one time that you should make the site big enough to accomidate an 800x600 resolution. But considering that 1024x768 and bigger is pretty common place should I be scaling up to that or still stay at 800x600? I placed an image in the backround of a table on my page. It looks fine on my computer with a square monitor set at 1024x768 pix. When I viewed it on another monitor, a wide screen it displayed about half of my image to the right of where I placed it in the table. Can this be corrected so the image looks correct in all screen resolutions? Here is a link to the page in question. It's the motor in the upper left. The image name is: log2.gif http://cb750sandcastonly.com/new/ Thank You. hello, i need a website for german customers, somethign like www.podmod.de because i would like to offer the same. So if anyone has an idea where to start, or even can offer me something i can buy, please do so. my email: verenamueller999@web.de thanks verena. Hi How to add a website counter to my website. So that when ever a visitor visits the website I want the counter to increase say from 101 to 102 and then for a new visitor it should be 103 and then again for the next visitor 104 and so on..... I want to know the code. There are number of websites that are offering this but they put their advertisement which I don't want I have some links (in the header, the SUPPORTERS) to different websites, but when I click on them the address in the address bar does not change to the address of the website that I clicked. How do I make it show the address that I clicked on? Thanks. http://www.ac.wwu.edu/~fencing/ I am a total noob but volunteered to administrate the website, because there was no one else to do it. Hi, I am trying to find a way in which a website that is linked on my homepage can be opened while keeping at least one form of my homepage open as well. e.g.: Google images :http://images.google.com/imgres?imgu...en-us%26sa%3DG sorry for the massive link. Hope you get the idea. So what i want is to have a bar on top that is my homepage (like the google bar in the link), but the rest is the actual website that has been linked. I don't really care much about the url. It doesn't have to be my homepage url, it can be the actual website url. Google has been able to do that somehow, so it is possible. I would just like to know how and if it is hard to do. If someone knows how to do it, it would be great if you could give me a link to a tutorial, or explain it. thanks hello guys new here...im currently creating a website for a business im starting.but im having a problem with finishing the main page...im new to all this html coding,and ive been able to hold my own on a few things but i cant figure this out.ive crashed the page once already lol but i guess thats how it goes starting off...(of course i saved everything)...but i want to do this right the second time. here is a snapshot of the page...so basically 1. i want to remove the 3 dividers and script on the bottom and... 2. i would like for the transition images to show up only on the main page. (whatever goes into the "media" tab,ends up in the main page and vice versa.so i would like to erase the media tab and find an alternate way to put pics into the transition box on the main page) So what exactly would i be looking for to do this?...ive got lots of folders and ive searched but not sure what it would be coded as? Hi all im new to the forums and hope I can get some help to solve a few nagging coding problems. I run a radio control car website for people that own a GV or XTM model car, some of you yourselfs may own one. A friend and I decided that the site needed a new look to make it look a bit more pro, we found a template that we liked but its come to a point where really we arnt sure how to solve the problems that are coming up. The template didnt come with a sub page so to say, so any sub pages we use that the buttons link to are from the index page and our html coding is limited, if we could of created our site from scratch we would of but we are not experts in the html coding area, its limited and we have learnt it ourselfs. Our website is GV & XTM Models Our main problem is sorting the background to how we want it in terms of expanding downwards to match with the rest of the page and to allow the page to show the text we have put there. An example of one of our problems is this page link where some of the text goes into the border title headline margin bit. Now I have done what I can to try solve it but I have failed...damn it! Also every time we try to expand the page to fit more text in we end up with the background going out of sync/out of line meaning we end up with some or a huge white background appearing resulting in none of the text being shown so no one can read it. We want to create a subpage from the index coding we use but we have pretty much failed and racked our brains to the point of "god what do we do". A sub page that is coded right and to allow us put a good amount of text in without distoring the lovely background and design we use would solve our problem as we are wanting to get the website sorted as soon as possible. If you have any other questions regarding how my friend and I have coded the site etc PM me or reply here, a little bit of help would be appreciated alot, thanks all. PS I am using Dreamweaver 8 |
