Different resolutions

Okay, there’s something I don’t understand.

I’ve made my splash page graphic at 1024 x 768. The size of the graphic itself is something about 955 x 600, so it would nicely cover the whole IE screen on 1024 x 768. Still following me? Good.

Then, I used Dreamweaver and set the picture as the background image and placed a “rollover image” above it, so when you go over the button it changes color. Then I saved the html. That’s all I did.

Okay, here’s the problem: when I switch to 800 x 600 resolution, the graphic becomes bigger and I have to scroll up and down and from side to side to view it. When I go on a bigger resolution, like 1280 x 1024, it’s too small, causing multiple splash graphics to be seen in the browser window, which is really messy too.

But I’ve noticed other splash pages don’t do that. Like when you switch to another resolution, they stay the same size. Like EG’s. On either resolution, it kept filling the screen nicely.

How do you people accomplish that? How can I do it too?

Thanks a lot in advance for your replies.

I wouldn’t set it as your background to start with

set it as a bgrd for a certain cell in a table with those exact dimensions if you must have it as a bgrd image. But why dont you you just make it a sliced images then place certain slices as bgrd images in their respective cells if you nee html over the top of it. That is usually how it is done

I don’t get what you mean: slice it up and put it in their respective cells?

Forgive me, I’m dutch… I don’t understand every single English term :smiley:

what program are you using to create your graphic? We can start there and ill see if I can get you thru it. Sometimes my explanations are vague…sorry

yeah i wouldnt use it as your BG, thats one problem. but if you put it in a talbe then instead of using the fixed dementions you could use 100% for that cell in the table.

Okay 3d-iva, I’m glad you’re willing to help me trough it. I just made my graphic in Adobe Photoshop 7. It’s a JPEG, about 955 pixels width and 600 high.
