    1. [ROOTSWEB-HELP] Designing web pages for 800x600
    2. George Waller
    3. Hi all, Could someone give me a pointer to information on how to make a web page that fits on a monitor with lower resolution. A visit to our local library revealed that my carefully crafted web page is too wide for the screen and requires scrolling and the text, etc. is huge. On the other hand, the main RootsWeb page came up just fine. At home I changed my monitor to 800x600 and saw right same problem right here without leaving home. Is it something easy like setting width? I googled with no luck. Help! Thanks, George

    3. One typical item that causes the problem is an absolute width of a table. Make it 100% or no value instead of pixels. You can make columns a percentage or some a specific width and the rest with not designation (they will expand to fit the space).
