[SOLVED] How to limit a web page size?

PGoodrum · #1 (**permalink**) Nov 25th, 2007, 19:54

Hi All
This is my first question, possibly of many........

I'm to create a web site for an assessment at uni, I've only done a small amount of html at the moment, one of the stipulations is that the pages must be restricted to 1024x768, I can see this as being possible by using a frame set up but I don't really want to use frames, what other options to restrict the size do I have? I have done web searches but come up with nothing................ Am I missing something really simple and obvious?

Cheers
Pete

That requires the use of CSS. Put all of your page contents into a div like this:

HTML: Select all

<body>
<div id="content">
<!-- All the html for the page -->
</div>
</body>
</html>

And format that div with css like this:

Code: Select all

#content {
height: 1024px;
width: 768px;
}

(Sorry if I switched the numbers!)
That should do it...

Cheers

Do not use frames!!
If you show us your code we can tell you what to do, but basically you need to set the width for your container in CSS.

See my reply above, Alex! Already posted the code...

I may be wrong but you could add:

max-height:1024px;
max-width:768px;

to your CSS

Cheers for that, looks easy enough

Maybe one day I'll have learned enough to help others on here
