  1. Hm, if you want it to fill the site 100% all the time, you can use <div style="width: 100%;">text</div>.And I've also noticed the Doctype should be there too, because that's made a scrollbar to the right on some of my sites before I even knew what it was. I'd recommend XHTML Transitional :)
    Where exactly should I put this code ?
    the no scrolling from side to side - use percentages and not absolute lengths for withs. Use 100% for it stretch the whole width of the page no matter what size the browser. Although, its only the container tags that can be stretched, like divs and tables.Takes a little practise to get it right and working properly, but practise makes perfect :)As for the pictures - depends on what you want to do. Generally speaking, the smallest dimensions people are going to use on a desktop monitor is 800x600. So, if its a gallery your making, 800x600 should be small enough. If its a picture for decoration on your site, like a header, or a side image..the smaller the better in terms of file size, so it loads quicker.hope that helps:)
    Thing is, the picture I'm using is a photograph, so I think the image will be screwed up if I do that...For now, it's not the 'weight' of the picture that make a problem, but the actual size... I want the picture to fit a browser top to bottom, only leaving space on a side for a menu bar... I don't know to what size I should crop it, since browsers differ... Also, I'm gonna have like a header at the top that will streach side to side, cause I'm using a free domain redirection and it's their ad... It's not too big in height, but I need to figue how to make the top of the picture start exactly from the header bottom and the bottom of the picture at the bottom of one's browser, given that they don't need to scroll... a lot of headache, really... I'd be glad if someone could advise me on how to do it...
  2. Hi !Can anyone tell me how to make my page fit exactly into the viewer's browser, so that they don't have the scroll thing on the right whatsoever. Is it at all possible to do with html or do I have to use other script for that ?Also, I'm using a picture on my homepage and I want it to fit exactly into a window without having to scroll down. I need to crop that picture for that a bit, but how do I know how much to crop off ? I'm a newbie in all that, trying to build my first website, actually...Thanks in advance to anyone who will help :)
