the client i am creating a site for has requested that the page width fit the window regardless of the window size and resolution. is this possibe. i have been using relative instead of absolute positi0oning but im stuck

Have you thought about the page width being a percentage?

you would probably need to nest the website inside a frame and set the width of the frame.

ie. (can go in head or body)

<frameset cols="100%">
<frame name="main" id="main" src="website.htm" />
</frameset>

then you would need to use css in the head section to size the frame
with something like

<style type="text/css">
#main{
width:100%;
}
</style>

i hope this works

thanks for that Goldingh99, i will give that a try and let you know if it works

i works great now, thanks for the help
