HTML - Widecreen Monitor For Web Design

I have a to make web page containing 2 columns. This is done.
Now what I would like to insert in the code is something like this:
The 2 columns should be full screen on any resolutions. Something like the page would adapt to the monitor resolution.
The percent would be 80% for the first column 20% for the se cond one.

What I don't know - is how to do that. Would a table resolve this problem?
What would be the code for this?

Suggestion are well appreciated.

Hi, I have a few questions. I use Netscape Composer 7.2 to design my webpage (since it is free), and occasionally insert my own hand-written html code.

1. I have a 22" 16:9 wide-screen monitor. Why do websites waste all the space to the left and right of their content with either a background image or a single solid color? Many sites do this (but not google), such as:

http://www.summitpropertiesgroup.com/about.php
http://www.nytimes.com/
http://www.usatoday.com/
https://twitter.com/

Is it because they are all designed for small laptop monitors? Do most people have 17" desktop monitors these days?

2. What is the html code to shrink my webpage width to make my site look like these sites? Right now, my webpage is the width of whatever the monitor is. I assume I have to use one large table and set an absolute width to whatever??

3. How do I verify that my website looks just as good on a 14" laptop monitor as it does a 25" desktop monitor without having to buy all these monitors or ask friends to use theirs?

I am worried since I just hit the tab or space key on Netscape Composer when I want to indent in a certain manner, and I wonder how this looks to someone using a smaller monitor. I have 17" and 22" monitors myself so I know it looks good on those.

I also put 640 x 480 pics side by side, with text typed on top of each pic. I am worried on a smaller monitor, only one pic may fit, and the text on top will be mixed up.

Thanks for any help!

My site is showing expanded not looking nice in big monitors. Can anyone help please. I think it is a container or sidebar problems. pl see the attachment. I will appreciate your help.

I know HTML pretty good and I can get by w/ CSS - but what else should I know for web design?

Hi there

Sorry, i don't know if this is the correct section of the forum to put this in.

What I really want to know is, how do you get webpages to look like this:

http://itunes.apple.com/us/album/lov...ign-mpt=uo%3D2

Can this be done using HTML and CSS alone?

I'm only referring to the design part of it, not what the page is able to do. Like play songs for example.

Thanks

My website is split up into 4 parts. The top banner, the left menu, the right menu, and the center part. My left menu is floating left and my right menu is floating right. I want to add content in the center but when I do, the side menus are moved downwards. I tried floating the center but it pushed it past the left menu. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi:

Currently, I'm making my web pages 'by hand'. That is, I use an editor, and laboriously crank out and test my pages on IE, safari, FireFox and Opera.

But this is agonizingly slowwwwww !

What tools do *professional* webbers use to build sites ??

What would you folks here suggest as a useful tool for web-building that would speed up my building, but result in clean editable pages ?

(btw, I'm an expert database man, but quit a neophyte in web design.)

My 'forte' is building Windows business applications (Inventory, Accounting, etc, etc) using xBase database software (i.e., the xHarbour language).

I can hardly wait until I can get 'behind-the-scenes' and do database work to back up my (pathetic) designs.

Thanks for any hints.

Can any one help me how to design web for mobile. I design a web by Frontpage, look beautiful in PC but can not read in mobile. Thanks in advance

I got into this about 5/6 years ago when I had to design a basic site for school so taught myself some CSS, we were using dreamweaver.

I've been wanting to get back into it recently and was just wondering best way to do this? I was thinking about experimenting with maybe wordpress or another CMS.

I'd like to get back into a bit of photoshop or fireworks as well not sure where I'll find the time but eventually maybe.

Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

Bottom image pulls up nicely on FF and Safari. However there is a thin line that breaks the 2 background images.

Try on IE9

Hi i'm designing a static sub menu and thought it would be cool to get suggestions on what approaches you guys would take. The reason i'm asking is because i'd like to see if my approach exhibits efficient coding.

This is an image mockup of what i'm trying to achieve.



And this is what i'm thinking of doing.




Thanks in advance guys.

Hello! I need a website built and have very basic knowledge of html. I will be selling t-shirts and need a professional looking web page. I want the customer to be able to select a variety of options for each t-shirt, starting with size. Once size is picked, the available options for colors will reduce to the available colors for that size t-shirt. Once color is picked, the available options for the type of shirt will reduce whatever types of red XL t-shirts I have in stock (v-neck, button up, tee, etc). As well as t-shirts I will also be selling other product, which will just be added to cart, with no customization. I would also like a shipping estimate for the customer's cart based on their zipcode.

I also need a referral program added into the site. I want to be able to give some my url with their code in the string that will automatically add 30% of the profit they generate on my site. Note: this is profit made from each product, not revenue. I want them to be able to be able to check their balances quick and easy.

This is the basic layout I would like, if you have any other ideas feel free to implement them or ask my opinion. I will choose the design that I feel is: a.) simple to use and edit, b.) looks professional, c.) user friendly.

Thank you for your time and their will be more chances at making money from your home in the future.
