I have designed my first web page on FrontPage but I am having some problems when the page is viewed on computer with different screen resolutions. Sometimes text is wrapped when I just want a scroll bar to appear, does anyone know how to do this? Or the best way to deal with the problem of viewing the page using different resolutions?

Thanks

Welcome to WebmasterWorld BigC5.

You might want to use a fluid layout which relies on widths in percentages so that your page structure will fit almost any screen resolution.

Thanks for the welcome Bill, how exactly do I use a fluid layout?

You might want to read up on some of the threads we've had concerning this topic:

A fluid or liquid design flows to fit its container...thus the name. Generally you can achieve this by using percentages instead of fixed units for widths.
