Dreamweaver Question

[dak142]

Is there any way in dreamweaver, to set up pages to appear in 100 % of a browsers screen no matter what their resolution is?

Thanks,
dak

of course ...tell it screen size 100%..
course if what you mean is ...
do it without leaving the nav bars etc , back buttons etc ..
you can do that too ....
but they'll only stop by once ...
and the emails are gonna fry you!

this is only used by the sleazier end of the skin business community ...

dak142 if I understand you correctly, you want what I call a liquid page. Which means the page resizes to fit the browser no matter what shape, size or screen resolution.

This is commonly done starting out with a table that is set to 100% Height and 100% Width. This table will always be maxed to the browser window. There are a few techniques required to get repeating backgrounds to give the appearance of continuing horz and vert lines or bars.

There are many free templates and or tutorials to be found on the web that will show you exactly how to do this.

Liquid or scalable solutions are pretty easy going.

I natively build website's using this technique, the only thing i will say about maxing for the browser res, is what looks full at 800*600 will look sparse at 1600*1200, unless you have a heck of a lot of content. i.e. webmasterworld is designed with the 100% browser width in consideration, but has the content to look spot on at nearly all resolutions.

One thing to look at is 100% table structures, with fixed width nav systems, as 20% of 800 is a lot different to 20% of 1600!
