I am making a website with Dreamweaver and want to put a "coming soon" page. My "coming soon" page will be a full page image. The problem I am having is that on my 17" screen it shows up fine but when I tested it on a 15.4" screen the results were much different. Is there a way to setup the web page so that no matter what size browser or resolution is used it will always load at that browsers full screen? I don't want scroll bars or anything. All I want is for the image to fit exactly on the page with any browser, screen size, or resolution.
Thanks for your help.

BIG problem.
Most people use 1024 x768 but there are users with 800 x 600 and some with 1280 x 1024 or even 1600 x ?? settings.
Can you put your message in a stretchable window?
To explain, the top right corner has 3 symbols. I will call them MINIMIZE (looks like an underscore mark), RESTORE (looks like a single or double rectangle), and CLOSE (looks like an X).
If your window has the double rectangle, click it. It should give you a RESIZABLE window.
I think you should create your "coming soon" message at 800 x 600 and place it in a window that is resizable.
Makes sense?

Best rule of thumb is to design for a resolution of 800x600 and don't fret about monitors smaller than 17", as anything smaller than that are dinosaurs and are on their way out. If you don't want to adhere to these suggestions, then you can go for 640x480, but bear in mind that it will look awfully small in larger more modern monitors. Google for the html/css code to opt for no scroll, but read up on it's limitations before incorporating it into your code. You should more aptly be concerned about different browsers.. ie, firefox, opera, etc... and how the site is rendered in each one.

Use percentages for your width and heights. To make it work well on mobile devices use another style sheet; Make a styling sheet suitable for all devices and one aimed solely for handhelds (palms, cellphones, etc.).

Use percentage such as 100% it will fit.
