I haven't done HTML in ages so I'm really out of the loop. I was wondering how you could make a website compatible for a resolutions?

I currently have a personal site that I'm working on that isn't on the internet, and there's two images, one on the left, which is fine when viewing other res, but the right image doesn't go all the way to the right side of the screen. It sort of floats in the middle.

Help me, kthnx.

i ususally just design for the smallest resolution

i usually view everything through an 800X600 [24 bit] res, but i know tons of people who use higher

Without seeing the coding involved, its hard to say what is the problem.

Perhaps the images are in a table? If so set the table width to 100%.

width="100%"

i actually used this:

<div style="position:absolute; left:273px; top:40px;">

and a few others to set the images in place. is there any other way i can do it so it's compatible with other res?

There is "relative" positioning, but that would place the area "relative" to where it would normally appear according to where it appears within the page coding. Thus the use of "absolute" positioning.

I guess a fix would be to use table layouts instead of absolute positioning DIV areas. But that would probably mean a "redo" of your entire page coding.

thanx.

i'll give it a whirl and see what happens ;)

i just design to high res. and if ne1 has a prob with that is their fault for having a screen area so large!!!

I think most people have a viewing area of 800x600 set. Some sites do the same as you if they discover most of their visitors are using that higher resolution. If possible, its still better to try to satisfy most resolutions.

My site stats show a middle line between lower and higher visitors...

800 x 600
36.96%

1024 x 768
45.93%

1152 x 864
4.31%

1280 x 1024
7.21%

Personally, I have my res set at 800x600 and prefer it that way. If I come across a site that has a higher res only, I usually don't return to it afterwards.
