Can anyone advise me how to format a website so that it appears the same on any PC, no matter what the resolution?

@Compguy_PeteNov 24.2003 — if you lock the size of your table or layer to 740 pix that will do the trick.

Most people use 800x600 as a general rule. However after scroll bars and window borders the size is cut down to 740pix.

Height doesn't matter much...

@PeOfEoNov 24.2003 — I say use a fluid layout if possible. That way at the higher resolutions you do not have a bunch of extra space but you do not get horizontal scroll bars at lower resolutions. Instead of using pixils for your widths, if you do not feel like learning css that is, you could always just use %s

/edit oops just read post before mine ^
