In htlm Web Design, how do you get your pages to fit exactly in the browsers?

Answer 1

What does your design look like. but setting table's width to 100% is not always good. If you do make the outside table 100% wide, avoid using images within the page bigger than 720pixels and smaller than 640pixels or have a cell width set to that, Have a nested centered table about 550pixels for content.

I would also recommend using a centered table with a width of 740pixels and fitting you content in it. Again setting the page width to 100% is not always effective. check the site above, it displays well on resolutions at 800 by 600 and higher.

Answer 2

It depends on your background. The browser would automatically make the pages fit in the browser whether the user minimizes or maximizes the page. However, if your background is pretty big, then the user will have a scrollbar.

With tables, you can just set the width on the table so that it will always be a constant size, but you cant automatically make a page fit in the browser if youre using a custom background. If you dont have any background at all, then it will automatically fit it.

Answer 3

set you table widths to 100% - you need a repeating background image in your header or a solid cell color.
