    I am new to designing in PS and slicing and bringing it into dreamweaver.

    I have a design sliced and will be needing to put expandable text areas in the new template. How is this normally done?

    Also I designed it on a canvas of 800x600 is this the norm?

    I noticed that on my laptop set at 1440x900 it shows a lot of page background, I would like to have my template as the whole background.Is there a code that I should be using to automatically stretch my template?

    Sorry to be such a noob! :}

    I would appreciate any help.

    I think the best thing you should do is make it look good for 1024x768 or 1280x800. On higher resolution you will get a lot of space on the sides, but you can fill it with a repeating backgroud image:

    <html>
<head>

<style type="text/css">
body 
{
background-image:
url('bgdesert.jpg')
}
</style>

</head>

<body>
</body>

</html>

You can see this example on w3c: http://www.w3schools.com/css/tryit.asp?filename=trycss_background-image
    Code (markup):
    I think you can also creat different styles for each resolution, but I can't help you with that.
