Window size and page context

[tamel]

Hi , i want to know if it is possible ,when i haven't got a full screen window showing my web page, not shown a horizontal scroll bar at the bottom of my page but instead have the contents of it redeploying and resizing inside the open window...

The short answer is yes, you can generally make your site more fluid, so taht if you narrow your window resolution it reflows, rather than having to scroll horizintally.

The long answer is it depends. Some things like images will make things tricky. Tabular layout will also cause headaches. So the question is how is your site laid out?

my site contains both images and text. If you want to take a look at it : [****.ru...]

Hi Tamel

You should remove your url if you still can edit your post, as it is contrary to the terms of use...

(But I looked at it anyway, and here is what I see...)

Your layout is completely table based, and the width of the table cells are all hard coded as a set number of pixels, which is why your layout doesn't resize to fit the width of the window.

As a start, you could try make the widths percentages rather than fixed numbers of pixels. Or you could try a more free-flowing css layout, but that route may take you more time to get up to speed.

What I meant by images is that if an image is wider than the screen, it will, of course, scroll. There is no problem having narrower images.
