resizing...

Hi guys,

I am working on a site atm as some of you already know...

The index page is going to have a large gif which is 1024 x 768... I wondered if any of you guys could help me so that no matter what the browser size it would either increase or decrease to fit the page?

or is this not possible?

Do I have to enter % into the code? as % is telling the code to resize to user browser whereas px is fixed...Is this right lol

All help would be most appreciated...

Cheers....

as I have not been given any text for the first page (index.html) I thought of this....I was also going to create rollovers for where the images as which would act as buttons (links) to diff pages...

I would also have a nav bar along the bottom....

So back to my main question I was hoping the image would be auto resized.....but as you guys say its not poss

im stuck....pls help....

what might look alright is if you centred that image on the page and used the light yellow colour as your background so that your gif would suit the page well then create the rollovers and things from there. Using CSS set it as a background image.

thats precisely what I had planned

Images like that need to be kept at their own size. You don't need to resize the image for different resolutions. Our eyes are perfectly capable of seeing the image regardless of the resolution. Just set that, er, "design" as a background image and centralise it using CSS. Then overlay your content with floated DIVs.

If that didn't make any sense to you I suggest you head over to www.w3schools.com and have a read up on how CSS is used for shaping the style of webpages.

Yep thats what I thought...the only problem I was having difficulty understanding was about the pictures...thanx for clearing it up tho mate

Just set that, er,

- take it you dont like it then
