Hi all

I have Dreamweaver MX 2004 demo that ive found on CD as I’m trying to make a basic site for a friend but I’m having trouble making the site FULL screen no matter what resolution the person is at.

If anyone can help spam :D


It’s driving me nuts


PS is Frontpage any better ?
 
Which mode did you decide to use? Go into view->preferences and there is an option somewhere to change the view mode.
 
you're going to have to do some clever stuff with CSS backgrounds to make them stretch (top right corners, and right bottoms corners etc). And some CSS tabs (probably based on Sliding Doors).

bit advanced .. but possible if you put your mind to it
 
If you want a website with links both sides of the page then a easy way to do it would be to make your website in tables and make the centre table (Page content) have the width="100%"

This will make the website stretch to 100% of the viewers screen resolution.

As long as you don't use huge images then it should'nt side scroll in any resolution from 800x600+.

My website HERE uses this method.

Daniel - any chance you can do further instructions?

File > new PHP
Modify - Page Properties
Appearance selection

Left margin = 100?
rigth margin = 100?
top margin = 100?
bottm margin = 100?

Is this correct?

would this also work without having 2 menu sections down the side?

okay by doing that , how would I know how many pixels I can do graphics at ?
Without buggering up the tables
 
Design your website in 800x600 resolution...Some people use that still.

If you use the 100% option it will stretch to 100% of the viewers resolution.

If any images are too wide then the page will side scroll. If you have tables with menus both sides then you need to add images that are not to big or they will make the layout look wrong.

Try creating your first page in HTML and then go from there.

Click to expand...

You can't have a set length for graphics as you are using a fluid design.

Take a look at a CSS design template here and use CSS instead of tables. It will be a lot easier for a fluid design.

Also, www.w3schools.com will be of interest.
