HTML - Screen Resolution - Homepage Selection

Well I got a website I want to code and I'm not too good in coding though I'm designing/coding websites for 2-3 years(ocassional hobby).I always tried and retried and asked and searched but I always got side effects.So I want to make this one by-the-book 100% XHTML Strict/transitional W3C Valid
So I was thinking where should I start with and I thought I should start with the background.I can't seem to manage even this one.
As in every single thing I ever done I can't get it to look the same in every evil screen resolution

....Enough talking.As you see in the picture it has 2 parts. the first is a gradient from blue to white(bottom to top) and the other part is a black pattern thing.
How can I implement it?I can't simply adjust it's size to fit my resolution and browser.It needs to look the same for everyone.

Also while the top part can be made with a vertical 1px slice the bottom one has a pattern so it can't.
i was thinking I could divide the website in 2 DIVS:main and footer and set a height percentage % like 80&20 from CSS.Use as background for main a vertical slice and a big image for the footer.But still that wouldn't fix too much ...I don't know.
What would you do if it was your website?

How to make the same layout for all pages in different screen resolutin?
For example, user's screen may set up relolution in pixels as

800x600,
1024x768,
1280x800

I need to figure out my navigation bar & how exactly I'm going to do it.

I'd prefer to have it one long row, but I'm running at 1280x1024 and it looks great, but I dont think most people run their screens at that.

So what should I do? Keep it long, or make 2 even rows?

Will it adjust to be smaller on the smaller resolutions? Is there a way to make it liquid?

Hi, could you check my site:

http://www.monkeygambling.com

and tell me if it works on your screen resolution. I've had some problems with diff resolutions. On 1024 x 768 it sometimes does a slight repeat of the background image because the text i have on there pushes the table down a bit.

thanks

Hey I made the site princeoflayouts.com, and am having trouble with my last step. The resolution size of the screen. On my laptop the website looks perfect, but then on my schools computers the whole web site is out of whack. I tried to mess with the margins but that didn't help the issue. I used dreamweaer 8 to build the site and have seen the section where it has screen resolution but it only allows me to click it and nothing can be applied or changed.

If you have any advice please tell me. I have a book that helped me through the whole process but this section was not in there.

Thank You

Hi

I have some websites that i would like to centralise on the screen irrelevant of the users screen resolution... some screens the site looks centred etc and its great but then the higher the screen resolution the viewer uses the more stuck up at the top it appears... is there a simple solution so the website centralises on any screen?

Thanks in advance for any help... i really need to get this working

I am trying to create a table that does not change size depending on what the screen resolution is set to. I know that it is good practice to use percentages, however, as I am used to using pixels, I am finding it frustrating as I don't get the desired table size I want when the resolution is changed

Here is an example of the table, if anyone can help me with the changes, it would be much appreciated or if you could point me in the direction of a tutorial that makes the table resize to reflect the chosen resolution preference, that too would be welcomed

Code:

<font color="#FFFFFF" face="Verdana" size="2">
<table width="810px" align="center" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
  <tr bgcolor="#000033"> 
    <td height="130px" colspan="2"><div align="center">Header</div></td>
  </tr>
  <tr> 
    <td width="130px" height="130px" bgcolor="#000066"><div align="center">Login</div></td>
    <td width="680px" height="130px" bgcolor="#000099"><div align="center">Image</div></td>
  </tr>
  <tr bgcolor="#0000CC"> 
    <td height="80px" colspan="2"><div align="center">Page Title</div></td>
  </tr>
  <tr> 
    <td bgcolor="#0033FF"><div align="center"></div></td>
    <td rowspan="15" bgcolor="#0066FF"><div align="center">Body</div></td>
  </tr>
  <tr> 
    <td bgcolor="#0033FF"><div align="center">Link 1</div></td>
  </tr>
  <tr> 
    <td bgcolor="#0033FF"><div align="center">Link 2</div></td>
  </tr>
  <tr> 
    <td bgcolor="#0033FF"><div align="center">Link 3</div></td>
  </tr>
  <tr> 
    <td bgcolor="#0033FF"><div align="center">Link 4</div></td>
  </tr>
  <tr> 
    <td bgcolor="#0033FF"><div align="center">Link 5</div></td>
  </tr>
  <tr> 
    <td bgcolor="#0033FF"><div align="center">Link 6</div></td>
  </tr>
  <tr> 
    <td bgcolor="#0033FF"><div align="center">Link 7</div></td>
  </tr>
  <tr> 
    <td bgcolor="#0033FF"><div align="center">Link 8</div></td>
  </tr>
  <tr> 
    <td bgcolor="#0033FF"><div align="center">Link 9</div></td>
  </tr>
  <tr> 
    <td bgcolor="#0033FF"><div align="center">Link 10</div></td>
  </tr>
  <tr> 
    <td bgcolor="#0033FF"><div align="center">Link 11</div></td>
  </tr>
  <tr> 
    <td bgcolor="#0033FF"><div align="center">Link 12</div></td>
  </tr>
  <tr> 
    <td bgcolor="#0033FF"><div align="center"></div></td>
  </tr>
  <tr> 
    <td bgcolor="#0033FF"><div align="center"></div></td>
  </tr>
  <tr bgcolor="#003399"> 
    <td height="30px" colspan="2"><div align="center">Footer</div></td>
  </tr>
</table></font>

Thanks in advanced

Guys, hopefully someone can give me a hand here. bear with me, Im a newbie to html yet Im an intermediate/advanced flash programmer. I learned flash but never learned html the right way and am struggling to make html entrance pages for my flash sites.. I know its usually the other way around. i learned flash first.

ok, I have a website I made which is opened in a fixed window. the html index page says "enter here" and that button opens the fixed size window. that works fine.

The problem is Im trying to learn the html and whenever i have an image on this index page, ( some graphics and the "enter here" button) it may look centered @ 1024 x768 but at a higher resolution ( 1280 x 1024) it will appear on the top left of the screen. I have been tinkering with dreamweaver but im really confused. I keep seeing all of these sites where everything looks aligned regarless of the screen setting.

Im not sure if I should use tables , divs or whatever. i have my website logo as a jpg and some other graphics, and im not sure how to put it into the page so it always looks appropriate no matter what screen setting you are on.
There is a company that makes nice websites and their entrance pages are always good. I am gonna attach the url of one of these. I notice that they always use divs, a LOT. Is thsi the right approach? and can someone look at the example and tell me how they are doing it? i dont put the url in the post becuase I do want google or other engines indexing the url to this post (for privacy)

Thanks a lot

Ive posted several times here before about this part of my website, guess what.. another challenge yet again

In has got this pop outscript that pops out at the left side of the screen when hovered on.
Click here, see the button on the bottom left to see it working.

Now, I just tested the site on a 1024x768 resolution and when hovered on, it shows but fails
to create a solution for the small screen. ( a horizontal scrolling bar perhaps? )
It just pops up and only half gets shown.

I have tried adding overflow:visible, overflow-x:visible, etc. etc.

Frankly I dont know how to solve it, could appreciate some help. Thanks.

I am no HTML expert, however, I have managed to create a webpage for my I.T department that is hosted internally within our network. I would like to replace this webpage as my homepage, it use to be google.com before, the new webpage has google search box in it. Before I confuse myself and the you as well, let me get to the jist of it.

Ideally I would like to do this, have my homepage set up in my browser as a local html file therefo d:\homepage.html. I want this homepage.html page to do 2 things, check to see if the webpage i created is accessible, if it is then go to it, if it is not, then redirect to www.google.com

The reason I want to do this is because, when we are outside of our network, the homepage won't work, because it is hosted in our network only. When we are outside our network, we should just go to google.com

I know its a silly problem, but I am curious if there is a easy code to do this.

Thanks,

Adam.

Hi everyone. Whenever i go to http://www.smokethosetires.com/ it goes to index.php. How can i get it so when i enter my url my homepage is home.php

Hey,
I'm looking to set up a system of 5 different splash pages, loading in order for the user so they never get the same one twice. I think I did something like this before only with HTML... anyone have any tips???

Hello guys

Well I have just made my homepage: www.sp34k.dk and its in Danish, I made my homepage as a blog/diary but somethings thats, pretty annoing is that I have to go to my htm doc. to edit my text and/or write something else, my point is that I have been trying to understand the cms so that I can login on my homepage and edit the text as I want it..
I dont know much about databases and php so maybe its stupid for me to jump out in such a big problem..

There are a few things I could like to add on my page, let me direct you on my page to where I wish things to be:

<i>If you go to "Min blog" and choose one of the links, then you would see my diary shortly, what I wish is that in the bottom people can write a commant so that when myself or other people return to my blog they can see all the comments that people made</i>

- Well, I hope it wasn't to much to ask for, but a short answer or just anything would be great So thank you for reading this..

Mike B.

Hey guys im trying to build a website with just a few pictures in it and a homepage...
anyways...what im looking for is a really secure way to crypt the whole thing.
My idea would be to have just an empty password and a captcha on the homepage and this takes you to the pictures but the problem is that most of the internet password scripts are vulnerable... all you have to do is read the HTML code for the password..
does anyone know a better way??
