is there a way that i can make my page (http://www.deadjournal.com/users/pleasurefeather) look then same in all resolutions, specifically 1024 x 768 and 800 x 600?? it looks really messed up in 800 x 600, and i dont know how to fix it. i've tried absolute positioning of things, but i cant get it. any help would really be appreciated!!

Unfortunately, you can't. I have viewed my website through many cpus with resolution of 1024 by 768 and some *rare though* of them are slightly not in the specific pixel as I wanted it to be.

It looks like we're just gonna have to deal with it. :( Although, if someone has the solution to this problem, I would like to hear about it, too.

a method you could use is percentages in tables,
say if you wanted a table to fit the hole of your page you just put
<table width="100%">
and if you wanted your navbar on the left to be exactly 100 pixels no matter the size of the window then you just put this:<td width="100"> in yer first cell then nothing in yer second. this will strech you second cell to the size of the screen,

p.s. if your gonna use this, then try not to use the <br/> tags because it should just make a new line for them auto matically.

p.s.s. u could always try makin 2 identical page in dif sizes although this would take alot longer!

Trying to watch out for how you postion things for both 1024 x 768 and 800 x 600 is such a pain, especially if you're doing a journal layout (I've done so many i guess I could be an expert). That's why I've stopped using the inline divs and have been using div tables.

All I can say is, just make sure you don't postion things from the right, because that's usually how layouts can be messed up. It's best to keep things closest to the left as possible and a decent width for all resolutions to see.
