How would one create a website that would look the same at any resolution? I've heard of making so it will fit for a 800x600 screen but then that just screws everyone that has a higher screen resolution. I've heard about using widths that use percentages and using iframes and things like that.
What's the best way to have one website fits all resolutions?
If you put percentage at 100% it will occupy all the screen at any resolution.
The common practice though is to start at a basic resolution and move along.
If you examine certain basic sites they use this approach.Percentage may give you more trouble than it's worth.The user could always zoom in or out on the browser(that's what zoom is for).
A basic approach is to use 100% for the body and create an inner container with the specified resolution.Take a look at yahoo p.e.
For iframes, i haven't studied them i cannot tell.
Hello,

Among other things,it talks much about tables.I don't know if tables is what you really want.I prefer div's without tables but i'm not a skilled designer.
Hello,
You are right, I would be the same. However, the concepts of scaling are the same, regardless of whether it is a table or a div being used.
