Hey guys,

How do I get a site to look the same on every screem resolution.

If I build it it on 1024 it will be too big for 800  
If I build it on 800 it will be to small for 1024

My suggestion, though it may be flawed, would be to make it for a 800x600 screen rez. Then use Javascripts to resize in browswer. Won’t fix everything but it might help you on your way…

You can make a site that stretches to accomodate both resolutions. For instance, an flash site that will display according to the percent of the browser or a table whose width is measured in percent rather than pixels. It’s really all about the design. It’s ok to have some blank areas - in many cases, open spaces help the design - it gives the eye a little break. In my opinion, avoid forcing the viewers to side scroll at all costs.

This’ll probably just piss people off, but if you make it a completely full screen flash animation it’ll look the exact same no matter what your resolution is set to.
