hi, i have a widescreen monitor, and it is throwing off my web page designs , where it looks fine on my monitor, but when i look at the page at the library, it is too wide and has scrollbars, and the images are too large. is there anything i can do to not have this happen, or do i need to buy a regular square monitor? any help greatly appreciated. thank you. derek

The website should not be designed only for a widescreen monitor. Right now the average is 1024x768 screen resolution, but there are still 800 x 600 users out there, especially on a library computer. You should research max min widths using css but based on your question, you have a lot of work ahead of you.

Haha, I had the same problem when I switched to a widescreen a few years ago and forgot about teh resolution~! I fixed it by changing my resolution to 1024X768 and crosschecking my designs on several monitor and resolution types.
