Resolution Problems

Hi all,

I have been working on something (here: http://www.devwebsite.net/miken_test/squadrons.htm )

Everything is fine on my screen resolution, but on the guy I am doing it for has a larger screen than the average user!! He wants it so that when he views it in his large screen, has doesn't have 3inches of white on the right, but an equal amount on each side and it also has to look right on smaller resolutions

I have no idea how to do this!

Any help is appreciated!

Michael

Re: Resolution Problems

Your white container is perfect... that resizes as does the page background.
The problem you have is that all your layers have absolute positioning. That isn't liquid. You need to move away from absolute positioning on everything.
So you basically have to fix all the layers once you delete positioning: absolute;

Re: Resolution Problems

Once you remove the absolutes I think your page will be a mess. Then you should start to reorganize it. For centering layers, use margin: 0 auto;
floats, etc.

If you get stuck post, and I can maybe sort out an area for you for example.
