    Hi I'm making up a web page to be used on the Mediatraffic network... and they only show a 750 x 550 window of your page.

    So I want to make a web page that is 750 x 550 so there are no scrolling bars on the side and bottom.

    How do I make a page that is 750 x 550 in Dreamweaver CS4?

    Just do it like a normal page, but make sure nothing you put on it goes beyond 750px from the left or below 550px from the top.

    If it makes it easier for you, you could create a div or table that is exactly 750x550 and aligned to the top left corner of the page (page margins set to 0), then work only within that div/table.

    thanks man.

    so is there no way to make the actual page that size?

    i understand your advice would make sure that no content is cut off... but is there no way to make the entire page just that size so there are no scrolling bars?

    it must be possible because we get pop-ups all the time that are just a small frame with no scrolling.

    Pages don't really have sizes per say. They are whatever size you open your browser to. If the browser window is not able to fit all of the content that is on the page, only then will scroll bars appear.

    Those popups with no scrolling that you see use javascript to tell the browser what size to open the window to. Then the person made the page so that the content fits within that window size.

    If you do as I explained before, there shouldn't be any scroll bars since there will be no content to scroll to.
