From: Ronx on 21 May 2010 04:01 What is the standard size? I use a fixed width layout set to 760px wide. This fits every screen (excluding mobiles) currently in existence, bearing in mind that most wide screen users do not open their browsers to full screen. Many other designers use 970px wide as the "standard". Then there are mobile phones - 300px wide? Again, what is the standard size? Place all your content into a container (<div> or <table> that has a fixed width. You may have to radically redesign your layout to do this - only you can tell since there is no link to your pages. Example: <body> <div id="container" style="width:760px;"> All page content goes here </div> </body> </html> Also, set FrontPage design pane to the same width as the container - in FP2003, with a page open in Design View: View->Page Size and choose the size. All your content MUST fit in that chosen width, with no left/right scrolling. For other versions of FP, change the size of the design pane by moving the boundary between folder list and design pane. Use an image on the page set to the required width as a measure. -- Ron Symonds Microsoft MVP (Expression Web) http://www.rxs-enterprises.org/fp/wf-menu.aspx Rfaulkner submitted this idea : > My website is enormously wide!

It would be helpful if you could provide a URL so that those who are interested in attempting to help you could see the actual web page (and look at the code) so as to better understand what your problem is. -- Jeff Zeitlin jzeitlin+jtas(a)spamcop.net

Thank you so much for trying to help me. I'm going to need a decoding book to figure out what you told me to do!! I'm just a nursing student and this stuff is like reading a foreign language, but slowly I'm getting the hang of it. My URL is http://studentorg.clayton.edu/sna and it's pretty pathetic. My default page setting is at 955 x 600, but when I shrink it down to a smaller size, like 600 x 300, it only changes my view in frontpage, not the view on the web. Will frontpage not center the content in the window? I tried shrinking the content on the main page, but it is just aligned to the left, with a gaping empty space to the right. If you go to any page besides the main page you'll see what a mess I'm up against. Thank you for your help, again. While I anxiously await your next tidbit of advice, I'll try to figure out what you suggested the first time.
