    Well I would first like to say hello to everyone on this forum as this is my first post here and I look forward to becomming a part of your community.

    All that being said, I hope this is the right forum for this...ok my inart497 professor wants me to make him a website to showcase some of his work, the thing is he is a bit of a neat freak and wants it to be very..simple. Regardless he hates scrolling and going back and forth between pages so I need to know what I need to make it so that no matter what size the page is on people browsers it is the full page. i.e.: a page that is 800x600 full size can be put full screen on a 1680x1032 and it will just stetch everything in it and like wise if it is made smaller all the items will shrink and stay in proper proportion. I have seen several websites like this but I cant find any right now...also im using dreamweaver mx 2004 if that helps at all.

    Just use css.
    Take a look at some of the free templates from the open source websites, then play about with things until you have them how you like.

    It's very easy. Just use a table or css and have it 770px wide and centered. That way everyone can see it. Or you could use % instead of pixels, ie. set the main container to 70% then it would always fit, the first method is much better though.
