My site <!-- w --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.nitrousminds.net">www.nitrousminds.net</a><!-- w --> uses iframes for the main page. However, only people with a resolution of 1024X768 can view it correctly. Since it's my first time using iframes, I used "dead reckoning", or "by eye"; where I just did trial and error until it looked correct. Of course, I hadn't thought that this would have been such a problem for everybody else; and it's been like this for months now, with no luck. 
<br />
<br />
Does anybody know how to fix it so that no matter what resolution, everybody will see the same layout?<br />
<br />
Thank you very much!
<br />
<br />
EDIT: Also...whenever somebody visits the page for the first time, until they hit F5, it looks distorted. Might this be from the same problem? Or is it from "sloppy coding", as a friend put it? Thanks! I really do appreciate the help.<!--content-->well, here is my comment. I also made a page with a similar type layout (using navigational stuff around the iframe). What I did though, was made the entire thing fit just under 800px. Then all I had to do was center the whole thing. That way it is just to the edge on a 800x600 screen monitor and it looks quite nice on 1024 as well. I'd have to take closer look at the code to see what is happening, because that is pretty weird how you have to reload it to get it to work right.<br />
<br />
because it does kind of suck that half the website is delegated to explaining how to get it to work properly (I've done this myself).<br />
<br />
So, I'll see what I can find... here's that website I was talking about:<br />

why is the navigation bar in a frame? Why do you have such strange positioning for everything? The nav bar messes up when you hover over things and they grow.<br />
<br />
You know what's really the rage these days for all pages (even frames)? Closing tags!<br />
<br />
oh and in the CSS:<br />
</style><br />
<style><br />
<!--<br />
A:link {text-decoration:none; color:#0099FF}<br />
A:visited {text-decoration:none; color:#0099FF}<br />
A:hover {text-decoration:underline; color:#0099FF}<br />
--><br />
</style><br />
<style type="text/css"> <br />
<br />
can be replaced by<br />
<br />
A:link {text-decoration:none; color:#0099FF}<br />
A:visited {text-decoration:none; color:#0099FF}<br />
A:hover {text-decoration:underline; color:#0099FF}<!--content-->Frames are a very sad alternative. Use a server side include if you want something that will lessen your work load and allow you to still have an accessible and beautiful site. Stile it with css, (like mentioned above), idealy.<!--content-->
