Gerrie, I have no explanation. I see everyone else got to the site, made comments, etc. I definitely got directed to a porn site. I got a screen saying the site has been moved, you will be redirected within 5 seconds. if not, here's the link. I never wait to be redirected and was quite amazed when I got there. I was kinda wondering why you'd ask about a site you'd moved... Sherry Gerrie Warner wrote: REALLY!?!? Just tried it myself (as I did before I sent the message) and got to the correct page.

Sherry, there are certainly some odd things going on on the web. What you describe sound like an ability to interpose redirections in a random way. I am sure someone on the list would know how this can be done technically.The real question is: How to deal with this to cut at least one such activity. Anyone any ideas.

[wdvltalk] Re: monitors sizing?
I'd say your best bet would be to design for a max width of 720px within liquid tables of 100%. That way they'll always fit the screen.

[wdvltalk] Re: monitors sizing?
Gerrie, Your site is in a table of width 906, that is why it will not fit at lower resolutions of if the browser window is not maximized. The photograph you are using is 496 pixels wide. The logo is another 310 pixels. Together, they will add up to more than an 800 by 60 resolution can handle. If I were you, I would make both the photo and the logo somewhat smaller. Take the sandbag background graphic, and set it in your stylesheet as a background for the table. You should be able to use a very small section of it to give the unbroken effect. Also, you can set you table width to be a percentage instead of absolute - this way, your table will adjust to different screen resolution. You can also use divs for the layout, instead of tables, but if the clients are still using Netscape 4.7 as their browser, it is safer to stick with tables. Rudy has a good article about liquid tables: http://www.evolt.org/article/Liquid_Tables/20/2321/index.html and here is a tutorial on creating liquid table layouts: http://www.dwfaq.com/tutorials/Tables/flexible_tables.asp Hope this helps, Olya Gerrie Warner [EMAIL PROTECTED]To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] se cc: Subject: [wdvltalk] monitors sizing? 04/03/2003 03:55 PM Please respond to wdvltalk a client is giving me some greif conserning this site www.rolunda.se/index2.htm since it doesn't work fit into 800 x monitors or (his - and don't ask me why!) 1024 monitor adjusted to 840 - He says a compeditors site doesn't give him this problem.

[wdvltalk] RE: monitors sizing?
I get a horizontal scroll bar at anything less than 915px wide. You table is set to 906px wide to which you need to add the browser defaults and space for scrollbars. So you will always have a horizontal scroll on any 800x600 screen and unless you reduce the size of the image of the Gustavsson's you will never have a site that will not have scroll bars at 800x600. For a computer monitor with a screen resolution of 800x600 you must keep the width under 760px or you will have a horizontal scroll. Some browser will have one with anything over 740px wide. The solution is to reduce the size of his image by 100px and tighten up the rest of the spacing then the page will display without scrollbars. You may also want to validate your code. Cheryl D.

[wdvltalk] Re: monitors sizing?
Just at a glance, you have your main layout table set to 906px wide. Looks like you'd have to change the layout. I noted you're using dreamweaver for an IDE and static HTML pages, did you set up a DW template? or are you looking at having to change every page? I just looked at some of the interior pages and apparently you are not using any kind of standard template. I don't see any way around hand editing every page. You might want to look really closely at the methodology with which you are developing your pages and see if you can come up with some ways to make your life easier. a few suggestions you might look into: -using server side includes -some sort of server scripting -try not to use nested tables -read the specs for xhtml and live by them I hope this helps some, Stephen Caudill The WDVL Discussion List from WDVL.COM To Join wdvltalk, Send An Email To: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Send Your Posts To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To change subscription settings to the wdvltalk digest version: http://wdvl.internet.com/WDVL/Forum/#sub http://www.wdvl.com ___ You are currently subscribed to wdvltalk as: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

As you have found out, the competion makes sites that are liquid and if not, they are a static size to fit the most common size monitor/resolution of 800x600. The reason he has his monitor set to 1024 is that gives him room on his desktop for other things than a web page/browser; and 840px is more than enough for good sites. The extra 40px is probably so he can move his cursor off to the side when reading.
