- page fit to screen
- Posted by Grey on November 6th, 2004
I have more of a general question. Why is it that some websites (e.g.
yahoo) will not fill up an entire 19" screen, while sites like amazon
fill the entire screen? This is a newbie question, but I have never
heard an explanation.
TIA,
Grey

It all depends on the design of the site. Some pages are created with a
fixed width (usually 800 px), and some are relative width (a percentage
of the size of the screen). If you have a fixed width site, no matter
how big the resolution or monitor it will always only be 800 px wide.
If you have a relative width site, then as the resolution gets bigger,
you are able to fix more on the screen. I hope this helps.
