Different Resolutions

[ext3]

Hi :)

Was wondering how I can make my webpage 'expand' to fit the entire browser window, regardless of resolution or if the browser is maximised?

Hope ya'll can help :)

Kind regards,
Matt

What you are wanting to do is possible, but it is not design work for the faint of heart! :eek:

If you look just below this post you will see a WWW button that will take you to my personal website (under development) which has links to a number of experimental designs (ghanja, iris and orchid) and Webtools. These are all examples of elastic design that function across a wide range of browser resolutions and window sizes and text sizes. I am working on another site for a university professor (http://www3.ns.sympatico.ca/d.elliott/chair/) that is based on this type of design as well. With all these pages, I encourage your to resize your browser, your text and otherwise abuse these poor pages to see what the limits are.

Please note - there are no tables used anywhere, and no frames. This is all done through use of CSS positioning. If this is the sort of thing you were looking for, then let us know and we can begin the process of explanation of the techniques involved.

Thanks I'll take a look around. Yeah, I'm XHTML/CSS and use divs. If I remember right, that's right up your street :D Ever heard of "Swordfish" who posted round these parts? :P

Afraid im none-the-wiser... a bigger push in right direction is needed methinks lol .

I'm thinking along the lines of swaping position:absolute for something else.. or width:100% or sumthin like that??

Happy thanksgiving ,
Matt
