Hello Everybody,<br />
<br />
I'm an absolute HTML newbie but an expert copy/paster of HTML code }
<br />
<br />
I hope I'm able to explain this properly. <br />
First, visit <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.gamespot.com">http://www.gamespot.com</a><!-- m --> in 800x600 resolution.<br />
Now change your screen resolution to 1024x768.<br />
<br />
Note that the whole content fits in nicely to the main table. Also note that the website content "does not fill up the entire screen". However, my website in 1024x768 resolution (See attached file - mysite1024.zip - 85KB) looks "stretched". My website fills up the entire screen<br />
<br />
This is evident from the table containing the large skyscraper banner ad (see attached jpeg file. It looks very disproportionate. <br />
<br />
So how do I model my website after Gamespot.com design when it comes to screen resolution?<br />
<br />
Cheers!<br />
<br />

Anyway, the problem may be that you are setting your tables out in percentages and not pixels. If you set your tables out in pixels you get full control over your layout. I also suggest you learn some HTML as this is a pretty basic design idea.<br />
<br />
Also remember that the max width space you should design at is 780 pixels. Screen res might be 800 but depending on what browser you use and what version, the free space is no more than 780 width pixels.<!--content-->HeHeHe! Specifying the table width in pixels did the trick.<br />
<br />
um.. is there any website that explains "HTML basic design concepts". I sort of know HTML but I'm not aware of these design concepts.

<br />
Your searchdefinition was good, ALWAYS use <!-- w --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.google.com">www.google.com</a><!-- w --> and find everything you need, even pink underwear worn by alcoholic lazy elephants
.. i guess <br />
