dreamweaver site not fitting in browser window?
hello all,
i'm having difficulty with making a website fit properly into the browser window. i designed it in dreamweaver using basic HTML and optimized to a 1024x768 screen. it all fits perfectly on my end, but the person for whom i'm designing the site says she has to scroll both vertically and horizontally to see the entirety of the page; when she opens it, only half the banner and the very top of the image map 'balloon boy' is visible. does it appear this way to everyone else, and any suggestions for how to fix it? http://speciallyforme.com/specially.htm thanks very much! |

Re: dreamweaver site not fitting in browser window?
No,the images are too wide for me. To sort this, you will need to use fluid widths.
But first to achieve this you need to know HTML/CSS - do you know these? To me it doesnt look like it as it seems you have used the Dreamweaver WYSIWYG? Post back and we'll point you in the right direction! |

Re: dreamweaver site not fitting in browser window?
thanks for your answer.
i know basic HTML - very simple things like how to make a table, make text appear in various ways, etc. but little so far as pertains to site layout. this is the first site i'm making so i'm trying to learn as i go along; if you could offer some instruction on fluid images i'd appreciate it greatly. |

You sure you got it optimized for 1024x786? My monitor is a hell of a lot bigger than that, and I have to scroll.

Re: dreamweaver site not fitting in browser window?
This site has a lot more issues than just width. There are many things to consider such as if the users monitor resolution is 1024x768 then the browser window will be smaller than that, and the viewport within the browser window will be even smaller than that. All of this is based on amount of tool bars, size of the browser window etc. You cannot assume that all users will run the browser full screen (i.e. Mac users generally do not).
You may want to reconsider and design for 800x600 then take it from there deciding on al iquid or static layout etc etc..
