I am having problems with the resolution in my website. When I view the website on my windows with a resolution of 800 * 600 ( the standard windows size ) the web page covers full screen. But if the same web page is seen on a different resolution like 1024 * 868 , there is a blank space down horizontly as well as on the left hand side of the window. I want that in whichever resolution the web page is viewed , it covers the full screen leaving no blank space horizontly as well as vertically.
i request an urgent answer to my problem.

The solution will depend on how you have currently built your page. The simplest solution (for me) has to always build my pages within a table that has a height and width of 100%. Depending on how your page is currently constructed this may or may not be feasible.

Just to note, tables are outdated for that type of thing. I recommend learning and using CSS.

Yes, but tables, for the most part, react more consistently cross-browser than do CSS "tables". MS's implementation of CSS in IE doesn't follow the standards as well as it should. The result is that the same page can produce drastically different results in IE vs. other browsers (just see the post "css help" a fw threads down for an example). So, since IE has around 90% of the browser market you are left to decide wether to build your pages correctly or to the MS standards.

I have a personal project I'm working on that relied heavily which took me a whole day of rewritting because I could not get IE and Firefox to

Point taken, and completely agreed that CSS can get very complicated, but you surely don't believe that putting a simple container div to hold the size of his page is going to result in cross-browser compatibility issues do you?

My rant about the MS thing...if everyone would start coding their pages for CSS compliance, you'd see people changing browsers REAL fast, when the websites they're trying to view look like crap, or don't show up properly (or at all). It's a shame more web designers don't do that. </end rant>

Not that I don't agree with you. But any web designer/developer who coded their pages to be CSS compliant yet did not display correctly on IE would find themselves out of a job about 10 seconds later. Who is going to pay someone to develope a website that 90%-95% of the people out there would not be able to see as intended?

Yeah, sadly that's true.

that is silly that IE doesnt want to meet real standards but my website in css works fine in IE so im happy

Yes, it's completely silly that Microsoft won't update IE to be compliant, but when they hold like 95% of the browser market share, they don't need to. Very frustrating indeed.

IE7 (if that's what it is even being called) is supposedly compliant, but that won't be released until Vista.
