Ok well I have about my website. Well when I view my site on a computer the home page is like its not the right size. Well what I want is it to be able to resize to you computer resolution. What would i have to do or put in to make that work. My site is www dot thielscollisioncenter dot com Please let me know thnx.
Evan B. - I've viewed the page on my computer and it looks just fine. I really don't think the site code is the problem. I'm sure the situation for you is that the computer monitor resolution you were viewing the site on is set to a high resolution and your site appears smaller... If you access your computer Control Panel and then "Display" you can click on the "Settings" tab and set the monitor resolution to a lower "Less" setting to make the screen resolution more normal. You have to play around with it until you get it set to where you want it. Hope this helps! Steve
Yea that is what I thought. But would you happen to have a code that makes it automatically changes the site? My screen is set at 1920x1200. Which is fricken huge.
You mean, like this forum here at Digital Point? It's always the size of your screen : ) For width, simply not setting one is the easiest way to make a page stretch even across a 26" monitor with 1800+ resolution (whether such a page on such a monitor is worth looking at, I dunno). The body is always 100% width. If there's a container around the web page, it would be a block element too, thus 100% width of the page, unless you restrict it by setting a width (I didn't look at the website, this just goes for everything). Height is more difficult. You can have a 100%-height model but it has to be done understanding that 100% means you can't add anything more to the height. No margins or padding or anything on the element that was set to 100% height. Except in IE6, cause it's stupid. IE lets things start at 100% and then grow. But Ie aside, other browsers assume 100% means 100% and will not let anything grow. So, you have to set it up right. Usually something like (pseudocode): doctype, head stuff <body> <container> <rest of page/> </container> <footer></footer> </body> CSS: * { margin: 0; padding: 0; } img { border: 0; } ul, li { list-style: none; } /**end reset*/ html, body { height: 100%; } body { other stuff; position: relative; } #container { min-height: 100%; position: relative; } * html #container { height: 100%; /*IE6*/ overflow: visible; } #footer { height: 2.5em; <--this number has to just be the same as margin-top: -2.5em;<-this number position: relative; overflow: hidden; } Footer gets pulled up over the bottom of the page (page is 100%,so you'd otherwise never be able to scroll down far enough to see the footer. Some pages look like ass with this technique. Not all designs are suited for it. But if you want the page to grow to meet the screen, this is pretty much what you do. There is an option, with the widths, to have a min and max width. Min width forces a scrollbar below a certain width which can preserve your layout. Max width can stop a design from looking stupid at super huge screens. IE6 of course does not understand min and max width-- there's a javascript solution and a trick using super thick borders, an extra container, and floats if JS isnt' your thing (you can find it, somewhere, at www.pmob.co.uk/temp )
You cannot get it to resize your resolution, only your browsing window (with javascript) or you can make the page contents stretchy (with CSS).

Read up on fluid (or elastic) website layouts. Getting the resolution of each user and then resizing is a bit messy. And you will run into problems anyway if a user has javascript turned off...
