Hi Guys,
I presently Own a website namely free java tutorials | Java programming Source code . I personally feel it need's a redesign as the Navigation Capability is bad and the look and feel is too clumsy. So i searched a lot on the internet and found a template which i am attaching in this forum thread for the redesign of all the pages in my website. But It has a disadv.. This is proper when its in 1024 * 768 resoultion. The moment I change my monitor resolution to 800 * 600 the horizontal scroll bar appears which makes a bad design. Is there a way this scrollbar be prevented even after changing to many other resolutions or is there something that can be added upon to this site to make it a better template for my freejavaguide.com


Please Help me out!!

Regards,
Hemanth

Yes.. get rid of the tables and use CSS. You can then use the relative widths using % or em's to get a liquid layout. Or.. decide to go with a fixed size layout that will still look fine at 800x600.

When you say "800x600 resolution" I assume you really mean a 800x600 viewport?

Bear in mind, that everyone is different, never assume every one surfs with a maximised browser viewport and a 1024x768 screen resolution.

Tables will resize very nicely, far better than CSS layouts, if you use percentages, rather than fixed pixel dimensions (CSS layouts with fixed pixel dimensions are also a nightmare, relative CSS layouts are a major headache when users apply their own font sizes, I'd avoid CSS layouts).

In short. The key is to use relative sizes and check it looks okay in different viewport sizes, don't try to replicate the actual appearance, you'll just go mad!

That is absolutely NOT true. All you have to do is LEARN CSS and it appears that that is something you don't want to do. CSS layouts are not a nightmare, but nested tables for layout most certainly are.

Why tables for layout is stupid: problems defined, solutions offered

Getting away from tables for layout takes some learning.. and if you stop learning and stay in 1997 with tables, then you are not a good web designer, you are a dinosaur.

hello! i just recently designed my website www.kemparts.co.nr. this was my first time using html.

when making this i used html and created frames and tables.

i found if u have more than two frame rows on your index, scroll bars will appear when the screen is smaller. one way around this is placing scrolling="no" in your frames html e.g. <frame noresize="noresize" src="logoframe.htm" scrolling="no">

this stops it from being able to scroll and stops the user from being able to change the size of the frame.

now you have done this u might find that the frames change size when the screen is smaller. the way around this is to create a permanent frame around your main frame. e.g.

all together there will be 3 frame top, left side, and main

set the top and left side frames to a fixed dimension and place a star for the main frame

<frameset rows="120, *" border="0" >

<frameset cols="161,*" border="0">

this will keep the top and side frame always the same size but will allow the main frame to adjust, which i assunme you would allow scrolling with.

so taht will sort out all your scroll bar problems.

also if your background is a picture and moves whenever you scroll, type bgproperties="fixed" in the correct frame.htm e.g.

<body background="MainBG.gif" bgproperties="fixed">,


ok so thats you sorted, now someone help me!

i have the problem that when viewed in different browser sizes users cannot always see my full bg image, now i wonder, is there a way to set it so it adjusts to each screen res?
