    Hello, I was wondering if there's a way to make your webpage look the same no matter what the screen size is or screen settings?

    What looks good on one screen may look out of balance and off on another screen!!

    please help, thanks.

    it is not possible to make the webpage same in all screen sizes.

    But if you use the 960 grid system... it should look same in in screen starting crom 1024x728 to higher resolutions

    you could center the whole content/design of the site via css both x and y (still then the page will have the negative space - in this case the background - but at least will 'seem' a bit more like the same)

    This is called a fixed width web design. It takes nothing but a master table of fixed width which contains all the content.

    Also you will want to make the width of the page 850px and height 100%. Either 850px and 950px are the most commonly used sizes as 850 will fit 99.9% of all browsers even on old computer using default resolution but with newer computer the resolution default is a little bigger so people have been using 950px more commonly. Hope this helps. :)
