[TriLUG] web window size

Tue Jul 20 14:10:20 EDT 2010

I agree, divs and css should get you the result you desire.
Try wrapping the <body> </body> portion with a div and assign it an ID
like wrapper.  Then in your style sheet, you can specify the width
parameter as a percentage rather than as px.  You will want to keep all
your sizings relative using percentages, ems, etc.  That way your page
should scale to the browser window, regardless of size.
