Screen Display

[Blackmer]

I am currently using dreamweaver to build the web site. My problem is what if the persons computer is set to the smallest screen resolution 640 by 480 it messes up my site. I need help Fast Thank You!

Well..... very few people now a days are still using the 640x480 resolution. Most people have (hopefully) gone to 600x800.
Secondly, I'm going to assume you are probably using tables to control the layout.... so make sure that the outter containing table is no wider than 785... that way it will always be the same width, keep your formatting straight, and should leave enough to take the scroll bar on the right into consideration.

--was that any help?

techgnome, I hope you meant 800x600
anyway, with tables, you can specify width in %age of screen
<table width="80%">

If you want, you could detect the screen width and height:
screen.width
screen.height

Knowing them you can change things accordingly.

Depends if you have your monitor upright or sitting on its side....
But yeah, that's what I meant.

technically you're still wrong
the 800 refers to the number of pixels along the top of the screen.
Arrgh, I can't explain it, but you know what I mean.
