Hi.

I have jus started creating websites, and i find this forum as a great resource.

I wud like to know how to develop a webpage that stretches according to the resolution. Something like this site [paradyne.com].

Is it related to scripting or is it a design technique?

Thanks

When CSS/HTML is done "correctly", the effect will be a page that works well at most resolutions. Using percentages instead of absolutes for your tables is a start. Using "repeat" or setting you table BG image is also a way to accomplish the effects like the "expandable header" up top. It's all in the CSS and HTML.

Here's a snip from the source, go to the site and look at the image, being set as the background of the header, it will repeat for as wide as the user sets their resolution --> forever.

<TD ROWSPAN="2" BACKGROUND="/images/pdyn_header_bg.jpg" WIDTH="100%" VALIGN="middle" ALIGN="right">
