Same Screen Res.?

Is there a code that I can put on my site that will make it look the same on other computers?

Not browsers but screen resolutions, because my site comes up perfect on my computer, but when I go on my friends it is all messed up, the tables are off, nothing is aligned- looks gross

Can anyone help? :q:

Either use fixed width for tables, such as 800, instead of using 100% or make it pop-up in a window

Or you can detect screen resolution and then redirect to a different page depending on resolution.

just do ure main table 800x600 or something…

and work inside that… that way it will look ok in 800x600+ resolution computers…

< table width=“800” height=“600” align=“center” >
WORK
< table >

or something like that…
hope it helps or it gives u ideas.

Actually 800x600 monitors don’t see 800x600 web pages.

More like 750x550 or something.

True…

:slight_smile:

< table width=“750” height=“550” align=“center” >
WORK
< table >

And i can put frames inside that?
Or add more tables and align it properly in that right?

of course man.

u can add everything u want into it…
about the frames… u can add iframes.

but u can add tables and stuff like that…
just remember no to add to much tables inside others because
it makes the load slow…

Alright, so I do this…

< table width=“750” height=“550” align=“center” >
< div id=“text” style=“position:absolute;left:200;top:40” >

< iframe src=“left.html” frameborder=“0” name=“left” scrolling=“no” width=“570” height=“500” ></iframe>

< /div>
< /table>

And nothing shows up? Should I specify it to px? Well I did do that, not working either … :-\ grrr

I was wondering should I change the width & height to % …? would that make much difference?

If you are positioning your object absolutely with CSS, why are you putting it in a table? Putting in a table does not effect the pixel position are you telling it to go to.

Does positiong with CSS keep the same size? So that if I go on another computer with a different screen res. that my site won’t get distorted and messed up?

That is the reason why I was using tables, to prevent that from happening …

Well positioning with CSS doesn’t effect size in any way. It effects position.

But on a smaller monitor, if the position is wrong, it will not adjust to the monitor, it will just go off the edge so they have to scroll.

So you will have to put it in the table, and not have CSS Positioning.

why not just design everything on your comp… then use your pixel dimensions to find out what percent of you screen height and width your main movie area is and then hard code it to display at those %'s (you are dealing with a flash movie right?)… since the aspect ratio of all screen resolutions is the same your site would look the same on any res (as flash would resize it to defined %'s of the same aspect ratio)… just another way to do the same thing.

Peace

BTW if youre talking about an html site this is not the best way of doing it… also you can do the same thing with your frame size definitions… hmmm I dunno if I was very clear - sometimes I have a problem with that.:sigh: :crazy:

how do i say dimensions as 100% and have the flash stay the same size no matter how big the window is?

You can’t adjust your movie size by % and have it stay the same size, that is just impossible.

You can center it in a table or something with the dimensions set by% and have the movie stay the same size but always be centered though.
