How do you keep the width of your pages constant with any size monitor

**garyjos** · 07-14-2006, 08:26 PM

Hello

A while back I did a web site in dreamweaver mx
What code do I require so that the width of my pages and layout are not modified slightly when viewed on wider monitors?

Thanks
Gary.

Good luck with that one!

It varies on size, screen resolution, Web browser, window size...

You should rather look into how to make your site look good on any screen resolution in any Web browser. Look good; not look the same.

use percentage width.

try with css code

If you want the page content to be the same width in all browsers, you'll have to set it up with a fixed width.. and use CSS.

Hello

How exactly do you make all my pages a fixed width using css please?

Thanks
Gary.

the "quick" way is to wrap all your page content in a <div>, you can then define width and position etc.

It may sound stupid
But how do you simple change the width to a fixed value for a web page?
<html>
<div>
width=750px

Web - Page

<div>
</html>

<div> has no width parameter

Try this code.
if u use table then <table width=""775"> make it fixed.
else u can use DIV then fixed the width of div tag in CSS part.

To give your div a fixed width use something like this:

html

HTML Code:

<div id="container">
... your page contents go here ...
</div>

css

HTML Code:

#container {
width: 755px;
}
