Hello fellow Nairaland memebers, i am new to web designing and the truth is that i am still learning,i have successfully designed a website but my problem is that i want it to open in all resolutions so that when i finally host it,people with different resolutions can open it without it shifting to the right leaving enough blank space on the left,i know i am not a professional yet but it does not mean that i should design an unprofessional website. i tried using a css code i saw online but it is still the same, the moment i change my screen resolution to 800 x 600 it will no longer fit on the screen.Please please help a learning boy,abeg my naija people help me, i don google and i don try most of the stuffs i saw in forums to no avail,but i believe that my fellow naija people go fit help me,so i am back home to ask for ur favors.

Only the likes of; *dhtml, and yawa-ti-de can help u!

try using percent in specify width x height, for instance instead of say 40cm as width use say 20% as width, if you are using dreamweaver, switch measurement to percentage or use percentage to specify ur measure men. This mean that if 800x600, 20% will be 160pixel width, on 1200x840, it will be 240pixel. So use percentage.

thanks megaplaza, i will try it out

You should centre your main container like this:

div.container
{

width: 950px;
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;

}

CSS Solution
1.Set the Width as 100% for any Expanding Element
2.Then set min-width as 960px so when u minimize or reduce the browser the content won't flow into the next line

Javascript
1.Create a profile for a certain resolutions and make it dynamic by querying the width of the client browser but css is more prefable

yea,i agree with pc guru. i had that experience with a site i developed. its simple, just set the body attribute in your css as :-
body { padding:0; width:950px; margin:0px auto;
}
html { padding:0; margin:0;}
this will be ok for most resolutions, but for 800 X 600 ,there will be some scrolling which will be ok.
note that the body tag should not be assigned to an id or class.
Finally, be careful with the inner divs (their width mustnt be greater than that of the body class). percentages and negative margins too are sometimes tricky
