Resolution Fix

[Udabar]

I am looking for a coding that will make a web site look the same on any computer no matter what resolution or browser they are using. Preferably for frames but any code will do. I have a web site for a business I am making and it is done in frames, I am just looking for the coding for it. Please help!!!

Ok, Maybe I didnt make this clear enough... There is a coding to make a site fit the screen for all resolutions. There may not be one for frames, which I was wondering if there was. But I know there is one for tables and I just need to find it. I was wondering if there was a way someone could help me with this. No one had to bash me in for asking a question. And besides craig, I do know what I am doing. I dont need a professional website made. I can do it myself. I have been making website for about 8 years now. Thanks!!

What you are asking is what makes web design tough, if someone knew the answer to this it would be soon around the net and we would have perfect sites all over.
Your question is absolutely ridiculous and you need to take a look at what you just said.
Your website is done in frames??? Bad choice, i'd stop now, you're only going to change it to a frameless site when you realise how utter rubbish frames are, so you may as well start looking into developing a frameless site. They are soooo much better for everything, even navigation which is what you'll probably be using it for.

If its for a business your setting up, why not spend a bit of money getting a professional website that makes a good impact on a person looking at whatever it is your selling, Your online status tell a lot about you, and if you churn out a bad website, it will definately do more harm than good.

The quick answer is this:

Code it properly, by scratch, and don't bother using frames. This of course takes a trained web developer, experienced in web standards and accessibility, as well as access to and experience with many browsers across the few major operating systems.

To summarize, if you're not this person, you WILL NOT get the result you're looking for unless you spend time learning.

There is no quick fix.

I'm sorry, but you come on here and ask something like that, and you say youve been making websites for 8 years??? I can only imagine what they look like, why do you need something like this now??
You can set up different CSS files, and create a JS to call the certain CSS file depending on the users resolution. I have done this before, and it is a waste of time, not everyone has JS enabled, and it is too much work to create about 4 seperate CSS files.
Why are you also using frames? Surely you should realise these are an outdated way of creating websites?
If you are looking for a quick fix, just create a fixed width layout and center it.

Craig and herkalees--
This is a different person you are now speaking to. Udabar is indeed a professional web designer. We run an advertising and marketing company and the site we are building is for a client.
I know for a fact that this coding exists as I have used it on my own personal site (http://nightgig.com/jcp) obviously, it's a work in process. Unfortunately, I got the code from a friend of mine and can't seem to hunt it down within my site's source code.
If none of you have a solution for this inquiry, please refrain from attacking our educated and professional web master as he is simply looking for a resolution.
Thank you, and anyone who actually has a constructive comment to make, please do so.

Well you come on a professional forum and ask something like that???
Look at it from our point of view??? Does it not seem like the type of question someone would ask when a noobie is trying to emulate one of the skills of a web designer in a fraction of a second???
You say you cant find the code in the source??? You should be able to spot it a mile off if you can hand code and understand what the code means. Perhaps you need to sharpen up your skills.....

A pro doesn't need 'special code' to make a site look the same in all browser resolutions. A pro needs well written and semantic code to do this.

Anything else, and you're not a pro, plain and simple.
