    Im working on a webdesign at the moment on a 21inch monitor using dreamweaver. The site looks fine on the 21inch monitor and on a 15inch monitor. However if I view it on a 17inch monitor I have to scroll acrooss the page to read it all.

    Has anyone got any suggestion how to get round this? Im specifiying the percentage to display on screen, this is working fine for the 15inch laptop and the 21inch screen. But the 17inch forces me to scroll acorss that page which is annoying. Anyone got any suggestions....

    eh, from your description, i reckon you'll need to do some learning about monitor resolutions. talking in terms of monitor sizes in inches betrays quite a lack of experience. not to worry, we all start somewhere and you could start by seeing what you find using something like "web design" "screen resolutions" as search terms on google and spend a few hours getting up to speed

    suggestion: use percentages for table sizes instead of fixed sizes.
