anyone know coding to change screen resolution for my website?

Question

Hi,

I have recently created a website which I did on my computer with a screen resolution of 1280 x 800. After sending a link to my friends and family, I received feedback telling me that the information on the pages overlapped even though on my computer it looked perfect. Somebody told me that the 'standard' resolution is 1024 x 768 and that I either need to change my resolution to the 'standard' 1024 x 768 and amend all the pages on my website or see if there is any coding available which will open the website in the correct resolution depending on the computer that wants to open it. Hope this makes sense. Thanks.

Answer 1

There is no simple code that you can add to fix the page. If you have overlapping content, it's because you have fixed-width or fixed-position elements that won't fit at lower resolution. You need to revise your page layout so it will fit smaller screens. While 1024 is the most common width, many sites (including YA) are designed to fit an 800-pixel screen - there are still a few of those out there.

Answer 2

Even if there was, this is a bad, bad idea.

With web development, aim for the lowest common denominator, which at the moment is indeed 1024 pixels wide. Not all displays can display more than this resolution and so any forced change in resolution would not be able to be displayed. Ideally, you could make the page suitable for any resolution, either by having the width scale to the browser window, or by setting a fixed width of less than 1000 pixels. This can be done using Cascading Style Sheets.

Answer 3

you need to use JavaScript to set the browser width and top (window length). See the link under. regardless of if it relatively is greater suitable to jot down your HTML so it would not count on the window length in case somebody's exhibit screen length is lots smaller or greater suitable than you're awaiting.

no
