my site is optimized for 1024x768

what I am wanting to do is set it so that the whole page is inside 1 fixed width table so that if anyone views it at a resolution greater than 1024 they'll just see the full site in the centre of their browser.. the main reason for this is because i use a fixed width header and banner image, and when viewed at a greater res, they stay the same but the rest will expand 100% to the full width of the browser..

i'm sure it's somethin simple but my minds a blank..

Depending on how you made your theme.html, you can just specify the width of the table in pixels and place it at the center.

Something like:

Place all content here

If you are using different tables for header, content and footer, I would think about converting these separate tables into 1 big table with 3 cells.

Hope this helps. Good luck!

Also have a look in the styles.css of your theme. There is normally a definition for .table with width set to 100%. You have to remove this setting in order to use pixel width for tables.

thanks both :)

altho i ended up using .js script which sets the max width to whatever u define..

minmax.js which is pretty good actually. it basically adds the max-width and max-height commands to IE 5 or higher.. a feature which is so missing from IE but fully supported in other browsers such as mozilla and opera..

then just add max-width:1000px; or whatever size into the body section in the stylesheet.css in ur themes folder..

and this to your theme.html head section >

IE so lacks behind on the new css2 functions it's unbelievable.. but then again it's microsoft so that's to be expected..
