I am doing a website and I am trying to place everything to the left of the screen. On my computer at work (15 " screen), ti's fine, but when I go home and check it out on my 17" screen the flash movie is in the middle (and I selected align left) (by the way, I am using Dreamweaver) and the table is to the left. Argh. Any opinions? Thanks
One thing to check is in the properties toolbox, is the width of your page set in % or pixel size. This will determine the width of the page in different resolutions. Are you using a table as well?
Ok, I will check that. Yes, I am using a table as well. Thanks :)
On the tables, make sure you are using % as well. That will help keep your table aligned to the left when you have a variance in the resolutions on screen sizes.
I was able to put it to the left. Thanks. :)
If you use percentage the table will conform to screen res and shrink or grow depending on the users res. If you use pixels try to make the width maximum 800 pixels for tables as that is the usual standard size.
Make sure the cells conform with the tables as well otherwise you can have the issue of the flash popping up where you dont want it and so on.
Give us a url for the page. You may well have a code issue rather than a design issue.
But, if it is a design issue: Generally speaking, if you're doing fixed width design nowadays you should stick to a maximum width of 760 pixels. If anyone out there is still viewing at 640x480... well, ahem...
