Hi again People! Just a quick question please: - I'm designing my new website in Frontpage 2002. I design my website using a Frame which is 800 Pixels wide, my question is, what is the maximum width I can go to to fill the width of IE?

Hi Paul, reggie, hi everyone
Frontpage 2002... :-(
Personally I think it's best to work with percentage's (%) instead of pixels in your <FRAMESET cols="x%,y%"> (or <FRAMESET rows="x%,y%"> depending on your layout), cause you don't know in advance at what screen resolution your site is going to be viewed by the visitors.

Thanks for all your comments - I am really thick but, if I change it to Percentage, does this mean that it will automatically change to individual Browsers?

Yup, it will change with browsers AND with user screen resolution setting to boot (no pun intended). It's often a mistake to make assumptions about what the user's screen settings will be. In doing design, I often set my screen-res to 640x480 (to be the worst-case scenario other than the accessibility issue). Then, change resolution to higher values to see how they'll look. I also try several different browsers to see if there's any adverse affects there too.

I double check my website by viewing it on my mom's pc monitor. She uses 680x480 and medium fonts. And she only has a 14" monitor. But when I set it to use % it comes out alright.
