i have created my site using 1024x760 screen resolution. and it loot good on my screen. when i looked at it on another computer it didnt.
it was far to big for the screen

is there anyway that it can determine what scrren size the customer is using and convert the settings'?

Or will i have to desin it in 800x600

Please send any thoughts on this and recomendations

Thank you for yor time

there are screen resolution detection scripts - search the javascript sites...if you use this then you will end up with 2 sets of pages to maintain


your alternative is to use percentage sized tables ie table width 90% or

just use a fixed table width of 750 pixels.

don't forget to centre the table

I tend to use the later


if possible, get your machine set up with 2 monitors (w98 and above supports this) I have a 17" monitor set to 1024x768 and a 14" monitor set to 800x600, then as you work you can switch your output from one monitor to the other , thus catering for both resolutions.
