Microsoft FrontPage Question

[jpcummins]

Looking for suggestions/recommendations regarding designing a FrontPage Web Site that will look the same on visitor monitors regardless of the resolution setting. According to information on the Microsoft Windows Forum, by users having this very same problem, the advise was to use tables. Has anyone using FrontPage experienced the same problem? If so, what did you do to solve this problem? What knowledge I have with FrontPage has been self taught and I have no knowledge of HTML. With this in mind, should you reply, please keep your reply as non-technical as possible. As always, I appreciate any and all replies and thank you in advance.

I believe the reference to tables is that if you specify a table width in pixels -- for example 950px wide -- then someone with a screen resolution of 800 x 600 will have the table scroll off of his screen.

But if you specify the table width as a percentage, then the width of the table is that percentage of screen width, no matter what the resolution.

I don't use Front Page, but it's the same no matter what Editor you use to set up your tables.

I usually use 85% width. Below is an example coded manually. Just specify the width in your Table settings in FP. When it displays in your browser, it will be the same width for all screen resolutions.

Now, the text and image sizes will be different, but the table will display the same.

  <table width="85%">

This is a test to see if the width is the same on monitors with different resolutions.
