Default Frames vs Screen Resolution Issue - 11-02-2005 , 06:48 AM






Hi,
how to make the Frames work on every screen resolution (800x600 etc...) so that all the items on the page are visible, and look the same as on 1280 or on 1024 screen.
Thanks
Danny

For starters, understand that screen resolution really has little to nothing
to do with browser viewport size. So, you need to be concerned with a MUCH
larger range than just 1280 and 1024.

Secondly, understand that frames usually suck. So maybe find an alternative
to that.

As for 'everything is visible regardless of the browser viewport size',
well, that's a challenge. You can set things up so that the page isn't WIDER
than the viewport, though. You do that by giving your layout objects a
percentage width instead of a fixed width.

So, instead of <div style="width: 500px;"> you'd use <div style="width:
100%;">

Same would apply to your framesets. Give them percentage widths.
