Use percentages instead of pixels... If you are using frames, its gonna stay like that. Espesially if people change their resolution.
Develop you site in 1024x786 resolution. Thats the most common

Use cascading style sheets instead of tables w/ hard-coded positioning. (Hard-coding positioning is the worst: if you don't use CSS, at least use percentages in your layout. But, CSS is the way to go.) Regardless, you MUST test the way something looks in multiple browsers and multiple screen resolutions. I would recommend that web-developers download Firefox, and use the IE-tab add-on to quickly view a page in firefox and compare it to what it would look like in IE.
Hint: absoutely do not develop and test using IE only -- you'll end up doing down a path where you can't go back; and have a site that can't be easly refined / re-worked to be viewed by the rest of the world. However, if the site looks ok in firefox, odds are it's pretty close for everyone to see correctly.

it isn't the video show length, yet determination. Many pages use tables or CSS to shrink the width of the content fabric to around 750 to 780 pixels (800x600 is seen the smallest accessible res nonetheless supported.) The Yahoo internet site you're gazing good now does this. or you are able to prepare a nicer scheme, the place the main considerable text fabric physique stretches to be as great as accessible, and menus on the ingredient are fastened with. Many blogs or text fabric content fabric based website desire this, because of the fact it takes great ingredient concerning to the area. text fabric wraps itself to extra healthful everywhere. in simple terms make the browser show smaller to work out how an internet site codecs the text fabric, and circulate from there.

You will have to get to the nutty-gritty HTML coding, not using a visual tool to write webpages; and actually verify the looks from those other computers and setups.

every web page is different on different computers. It goes by the computer nothing to do with the web page.

just ensure that you use correct tags, and are supported on different browsers... especially when you use javascripts.. some javascripts doesn't work well on the latest browser versions... specifically, much of javascripts are not meant for firefox...
so just assure that you use correct tags, and use browser-supported javascripts.
