What's the resolution of both the PC and the Laptop? If you're design websites, it's best not to design for your local PC's resolution only, but take into account the wider resolutions available. The Web Developer addon for Firefox is a good tool which will allow you to view your website across a number of resolutions and thus make your site more accessable. The three main criteria in optimising a page layout for a certain screen size are: * Web Page Initial visibility: Is all key information visible above the fold so users can see it without scrolling? This is a tradeoff between how many items are shown vs. how much detail is displayed for each item. * Web Page Readability: How easy is it to read the text in various columns, given their allocated width? * Web Page Aesthetics: How good does your page look when the elements are at the proper size and location for this screen size? Do all the elements line up correctly -- that is, are captions immediately next to the photos, etc.?
the only way to do that is to create everything on your site with mutli-style sheets based upon resolution for fixed with - or change the site to behave to different resolutions via fluid %'s...
