Hi, is there a script or something alike that will allow my web page to be viewed with any screen res, whether it be 800*600 (which in this case will fill the viewing area) or 1024*768 (which will not fill the viewing area, but will hold it's size and just move it's self to the middle of the viewing area)...

One example i found of this is www.austarnet.com.au, once the site is viewed with a higher screen resolution it just adjusts by moving to the center of the page....

i hope i have explaned it enough for you to understand.. if there are any gaps, please ask :)

thanks for your help :)

The page you linked to has this in the table align="center". This tells the browser to center the content in the browser window. The table is 765 pixels.. Fits nicely in an 800x600 and contains some white space at higher resolutions. Computing.net does the same thing.

As mark said.. Detection scripts exist but i think everyones goal should be to create a single set of pages [-vs- a set for every resolution] that work well under and resolution. Centering the table/content will allow you to do this.

Most editors [Dreamweaver, Front page, Netobjects] have a tick box that centers your page for you.
