Ok I searched and guess either I suck at searching ofr things or this just isn't something that gets alot of attention. This is the website that I am building www.autosoundsupply.com and when being viewed at 800x600 I get that annoying bar that customers love so dearly. I don't know alot of coding, just HTML and thats about it. Anyone got any help for me. I am looking to have the page auto resize to the customers browser size settings.

Thanks All
Chris

My advice is don't even go there, here's why...

1. People don't like having their browser resized, if I want my browser window at a certain size that's the way I want it.

2. It won't work with all browser/settings

3. Always design a site for your users, not your personal preferences

You best approach would be to design your page at a maximum width of 760 pixels, this will ensure it fits in a 800x600 screen without the scrollbars.

I'm risking a slapping here, but you could do it with relative sizes.

Table width="100%"; image width="howevermany%"; height unspecified (automatically adjusts with width)

It's bad practice though and I'd NEVER do it myself (except the table width...), as it slows down image rendering (the browser needs to do all the work, if it can, of determining the actual width of the image, then work out the height, then start display, instead of knowing the width & height and starting display immediately)

The answer is javascript. I'm not sure the exact code, but you can fnid that by going to a page that does this, and clicking "view source."

But the advice you've got so far is really better than messing with the browser. Everyone hates this. You don't want people to be p!ssed when they visit your site.

Great, I will follow your advise and do it the way you recommend, thanks for your help guys.

Just to clarify, are you saying, make the page match the browser, or make the browser match the page?

The only clean way to do it is to set up tables or divs with repeating background images. This guy has a really cool way of taking an image and making it into a web design that's completely sizeable to the window of the browser.
