Hi,
When I design a site and view it in my browser it is ok but when i take it to a computer which has a different resolution, the whole site bcomes small at corner and there are a lot of space around it.

I want to design the site such that no mater what the person has set his computer resolution, whether big or small and irrespective of the monitor site, the website will cover the whole screen.

Thanks.

You've most likely created a page that uses fixed pixel widths for your desing elements. Remove the fixed sizes, replace them with percentages and it will stretch to fill the screen on higher resolutions. Keep in mind this won't work well for elements like images so you need to design your site with things like this in mind.

Please do you know how I can do this in Frontpage and Dreamweaver?

Or the code that I can put into the page if I am hand coding.

ictglobal, if you are using tables, use something like <table border=0 cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0 width="100%">, rather than a fixed width.

Depending on the design, I think you generally have more control over using fixed width="740", for example, but hand plugging in width="100%" should accomplish your goal of having your web pages horizonatally fill the screen.
