stretching a page on html

[helen stunell]

does anyone know how I can make a webpage autostretch to fit any screen size?

you define the widths of the page elements in percentages rather than pixelsexample <div style="width:100%;"></div>

I've defined the width of the elements to 100% but when I open the page on a screen bigger than the screen I have it doesn't stretch to fit the screen. Is there anything else I can do?

sorry - what I meant was that the page I have designed fits my computer screen fine but when i open it on a computer with a bigger screen the background etc doesn't fill the whole screen. does that make more sense?
